Main Cliff, Gogarth

Area: Main Cliff/Gogarth Bay
Style: Traditional/Multi-Pitch
Aspect: South-West
Rock Type: Quartzite

Main Cliff at Gogarth is an impressive cliff in an impartial environment. It epitomizes sea cliff climbing – steep descents/abseils, Sea Level Traversing, difficult route finding, steep climbing, long run-outs, but most off all, adventure.

Scavenger, HVS 5a ***, a route that features on the Main Cliff, offers good climbing in fantastic positions.
