Hi
Would agree with severe. Is a really great route initially up to the
top of the pinacle on the far side of Coastguard Wall. The bit after
that is on very poor rock and any protection that can be found is
probably unlikely to hold a fall - as I found out to my cost last year -
and a slip from here, or more likely a snapped hold would lead to a
pretty long fall into the side of the butress below. I really enjoyed
the couple of times I did this route - but I probably wouldn't do it
again.
lol - hope this helps
