Description
The perfect companion to Bosigran and the North Coast this guidebook details the climbing on the rugged south coast of Cornwall between Land’s End and Penzance. Granite pre-dominates with Chair Ladder bing the stand-out crag. However the many coves and headlands of this convoluted coast give hundreds of quality climbs across the grades.
In contrast to the granite crags the routes on The Lizard Peninsula are composed of a complex set of metamorphic rocks including Serpentine. These give a different style of climbing on a spectacularly rugged piece of coastline that includes England’s most southerly point.
