Most of the cliffs top out into private property. MORE INFO >>> All the cliffs except for one top out into private residences of summer people. Be sure to secure permission from the land owner before rigging a top rope or transiting their land. Most summer people are gone after October and don't return till June. This information is a public crowdsourcing effort between the Access Fund, and Mountain Project. You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates. Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

Walk around the corner from the landing at Dyce's head and take in the improbable overhang of rock. Appreciate the sandstone-esque features of pancakes and chicken heads. Then reach up and break off a piece of the choss.

This route starts from a sit start and works out the massive crack that splits the roof, then ascends it for the unsettling top out.

The rock is sharp, and brittle. Make sure you've gotta spotters to knock you onto the pads.

Oh, and it's only accessible at low tide.

Location 

Head climber's left once you reach the landing at the water at Dyce's head. It's the obvious overhung roof with a giant crack and razor blade edges.

Protection 

3 pads.
