Crag : Brownspear Point South side
Date of ascent : 10/2003
Route Name : Return of The Native
Length/grade/stars : 30m, E1
Climbers : Iain Peters, David Hillebrandt
Start location:
Start as for The red O, immediately left of the shallow arched cave, and
well away from the recently collapsed main slab
Pitch descriptions:
Climb easily up the crack (as for Red O), the traverse diagonally right,
at the lower of the two "tram" lines, passing two poor peg placements
(removed), the second just above the lip of the arch. Climb straight up
on small holds to finish at an overhanging block. Scramble carefully up
mixed terrain to the crest of the ridge.
Additional info:
On sight. Two poor pegs, placed on lead (removed) |

Crag : Foxhold Slabs
Date of ascent : 10/2004
Route Name : Lace
Length/grade/stars : 50m, HVS,
Climbers : Iain Peters, David Hillebrandt
Start location:
As in Guide. The route takes the narrow rib and slab to the right of the
main slab. Start: beneath the rib.
Pitch descriptions:
50m, 4c.
Climb the edge of the slab at first then use small holds on the right,
(peg removed) and continue to a shaly ledge. Move left across the corner
and climb diagonally leftwards, joining the last few metres of Silk, to
its peg and nut belays.
Additional info:
Only one peg runner and one small wire protect the main section of the
route |

Area : North Devon and Cornwall
Crag : Baggy Point
Date of ascent : 06/06/07
Route Name : Dark Relief
Length/grade/stars : 23 metres approx, S 4a *
Climbers : John Mason, Sharon Roberts
Start location:
From the top of scrattling zawn contour along the rocks/grass right (
facing out) until it is possible to begin a scramble decent down to just
below the high tide line, then boulder hop left till you reach a dark
zawn approximately 20-25 m high. At low tide it is possible to stand on a
small platform, step across the water onto a smaller ledge to begin the
route.
Pitch descriptions:
The steep looking corner crack on the right, at the back of the narrow
zawn. Upon first appearance this crack seems to be some fist jamming
pump fest, until viewed from close up where the line does not seem so
aggressive.
Pleasantly steep for the grade, good rock and solid protection
throughout. A choice of two exits can be made at the top the left seems
more fitting for the sustained direct feel to the route, right is
easier.
More routes are possible around this area

Area : North Devon & Cornwall
Crag : Baggy Point, The Promontory
Date of ascent : 14/07/2007
Route Name : Under The Bridge
Length/grade/stars : 80ft, VS
Climbers : Josh Rose, Carole Standing
Start location:
Abseil into the left slab.
Pitch descriptions:
50ft, 4b. Start just left of the "perched slab", and follow a thin
crack up for approx. 10ft, before moving right under the slab. Edge your
way up with little to no gear to an unstable flake with good gear just
below the boulder bridge. Pull over onto this (crux) to good holds and
the safety of the last part of "The Ridge of Kazad-Dum". Fix a sling
runner and follow the ridge up to a belay stake at the top.
