Sea cliff climbing in Cornwall.

Martina and I spent a weekend on the granite cliffs around Lands End. At Chair Ladder, we climbed the classic Terrier’s Tooth, the exposed and gripping traverse of The Mitre, the fantastic South Face Direct and the meandering Neptune. At Bosigran, we climbed Zig-Zag – a wonderful second pitch and The Armchair – steep and testing moves on the first pitch and a jug-filled corner on the second.

Luke and I spent a day at Sennen, enjoying getting back to basics and following our noses without a guidebook. The following day, we went to Bosigran for the classic lines of Doorpost and Little Brown Jug.
