Tidal access
Lower belay ledges cut off by high tide — access 2h either side of low water
Trewavas Head features spectacular granite sea cliffs perched below historic engine houses on the south coast of Penwith near Breage. The rock character is pristine, highly-featured granite with incredible friction, positive crimps, and clean vertical crack systems. Facing south into Mount's Bay, the cliff acts as a natural sun trap, drying very rapidly after wet weather. The grade profile spans classic mid-grade traditional routes to E-grade wall climbs, highlighted by Trewavas Wall. The approach takes fifteen minutes down coastal trails from the Rinsey engine house car park followed by an abseil descent. Tidal movement covers low-level belay spots, requiring careful planning around low water.
