What to expect
You'll start with safety briefing and gear fitting, then move onto the rock face using fixed ropes and rappelling equipment to descend toward secluded creeks. The route alternates between scrambling and controlled rope work—easier than traditional climbing but more technical than standard hiking. Expect some exposure and the constant sensory assault of Atlantic swells battering the cliff base. The three hours includes instruction time, so actual climbing time varies. You finish by hiking back out through the terrain.
