Variety is the spice of life, and in climbing terms, Cornwall offers lots of variety, all on magnificent rock - big climbs, little climbs, easy climbs, hard climbs, inland crags, sea cliffs, granite, killas, greenstone, amphibolite, pillow lava, culm.

With its long coastline and grassy moorlands, Cornwall has long since been a favourite destination for climbers. It's wild & wonderful coastline offers some of the best traditional (trad) sea-cliff climbing in the UK, if not the world and, as such, it is of major importance for this type of climbing. The golden granite cliffs around Lands End have been climbed on since the early 1900's and still continue to offer up new routes of all levels of difficulty, even to this day. Climbs such as Bosigran (Commando) Ridge, Demo Route, Terrier's Tooth, Doorpost, Right Angle, Little Brown Jug and Bishop's Rib, have become revered national classics, and are much sought after by many visiting climbers. Recent development of the cliffs around the Lizard peninsula have seen more climbers venturing to this unique and beautiful part of the cornish coast.
