Vie in Cornwall

The gentle and beautifully textured granite arete provides an ideal initiation to the more manageable routes at Bosigran. Pitches 1 & 2 are usually combined.

1. 22m. Climb up the steep right-hand side of the arete. As the angle gradually becomes less steep, shift your position to the left, onto the actual arete, and continue following it until a suitable belay position.

2. 18m. Continue along the arete, progressing towards a terrace where multiple belay options are available.

3. 19m. Scale the steep cracks located at the rear of the bay, persevering until you reach the summit.

Can be climbed as two pitches by linking P1 and P2 together.

P1 can be linked into P2 and P3 of 'Doorpost' to create a 3-star "direct" route.

Bosigran's prime VDiff experience is formed by a challenging route with diverse climbing and progressively more precarious stances. Start at a broad crevice.

1. Ascend the 16m section, navigating the secure yet cumbersome crack, to a large ledge for belaying.

2. 22m. Traverse to the left, followed by an upward movement, eventually arriving at a steep wall. Scale the wall and establish a belay position directly beneath a flared chimney.

3. 35m. Enter the challenging chimney, climbing until a gradually ascending ledge becomes visible towards the left. Traverse along the ledge, navigating through an extremely exposed position, until reaching the summit.

This incredible climb offers numerous captivating sections set in a breathtaking location. It remains unaffected by the tide when the sea is calm or moderately rough.

The original rating of 'Very Difficult' has been slightly adjusted to HVD, although some might consider it as Severe due to the challenging nature of certain pitches for both the lead climber and the second.

Experienced climbers at this level can effortlessly link pitches together. The ascent begins at a broad crevice situated at the bottom of the initial buttress to the right (when facing outward) from the approach.

P1 and P2 can be linked together; as can P3 and P4 (making the last pitch less contrived). The route is easily escapable at the end of the P3 by moving right rather than back left.

probaly the best route at its grade in the quarry. P1 climb the rake under the chain to the first belay. P2 mantle up and traverse right to the V groove, traverse back left then up to the large belay ledge. P3 a break on the right to make the slab, follow a hand traverse too finish the climb on the slab

This route offers breathtaking views from a location that imparts a sense of remoteness, making it relatively popular among climbers.

Begin at the tip of the promontory, where a narrow left-facing corner awaits. Ascend the corner until you reach a sloping ledge on the left, where the corner gradually disappears.

From there, traverse towards the right and climb a crack that leads to the top of the promontory. Set up a belay point there. To descend, scramble along the crest of the promontory.

P1 and P2 can be linked together easily enough.
