Description from Mountain Project:
The climbing here is good, but the setting is spectacular, though you may have to contend with trains. The crag itself sits just above Howe Sound. Hanging belays at high tide are not to be missed. Seals and otters frequent the cove as well. Out the traverse, best to belay the second from the top and rap back in from the tree. Two ropes may be needed otherwise, with the real possibility of dropping them in the water.
Note that with an uncut 70m, definitely tie your knots and expect to barely get to the ground if you use the second rappel station from the climber's left (left-most is after a little roped descent which has 2 chains), which has a single ring (with chains to 2nd bolt for redundancy)

I will try to get on both sport and trad routes but you can climb anything you like.
If you have 70m rope, pls bring them.
