Shipwreck Cove

This is the first cove gained when traversing the beach east from the foot of the path from the car park at Rhossilli. It can be gained up to 3-4 hours before low tide.

1. Stuart’s Line LH finish (6c) ★
Takes the hard finale out.

A good introduction to the steep climbing hereabouts.

The leaning crack via an alcove.

A thin crack and steep climbing leads to a complex finish.

The leaning right to left crack has an even steeper finale.

A brilliant route with sustained climbing, some good shakeouts and a crux finale.

Another classic with a definite boulder problem overlap but plenty above and below.

A wild stamina fest with some hard moves as well.

hard at the bottom and doesn’t let up to the top.

Steep, good holds and complex.

knee bars, a low crux and a difficult move over the lip.

A hard start and some impressive moves through the roofs.

1. Blockiness (6c+) ★★★
A fantastic route featuring steep climbing mostly on jugs.
