Assessment

No recent rain
Bird ban active (some sectors only) — Seabird nesting restrictions on parts of the cliff. No MoD restrictions (outside the firing range).
Tidal access: Most West Face routes are tidal — hanging belay above the high tide line possible if you abseil in. South Face is largely non-tidal and easier to access.
Humidity 86.61% — potential fog/cloud, rock may be damp from condensation
