Tidal access: Blackchurch Rock (free-standing fin): ~3 hours either side of low tide only. Be very careful with spring tides/swell — climbers have been cut off. Main Cliff: essentially non-tidal (slightly tidal at far left end).
Main cliff has loose rock in places — crumbly top pitches on some routes. Blackchurch Rock itself is solid.
