Huntsman's Leap
Limestone Faces W trad E1 5b to E7 6c
A dramatic knife-cut zawn slicing into the Range East plateau, so narrow a horseman is said to have leapt it. Sheer, smooth walls give sustained, well-protected wall climbing in an atmospheric slot where the sea booms below. The greatest concentration of quality E-grades in Pembroke, with escape only by climbing out.
