Climber Style Ascent Date Suggested Grade
Aleister Crowley Lead | did not finish 1894

Crowley lead the first two-thirds of the route (P1), but was forcibly rescued by the coastguard and top-roped the remainder of the climb. The standard of climbing to achieve his high point was likely the most difficult achieved in Britain at the time.

Mick Fowler Alternate Leads | onsight 13th Apr 1980
First ascent. First free ascent.
