Lovely with Adam on Kestrel | Thearlaichdubh | 04/07/2022 |
Up the rusty ladder and steps dropped off by boat Kestrel on an Alan Holmes organised trip. | NormanW | 04/07/2022 |
An easy landing courtesy of the rusty rungs. Nice. | Jon F | 04/07/2022 |
Committing but straight forward ascent up rusty vertical ladder in about 1 m of swell, leaving our dinghy tied to it. Thereafter many concrete steps to lighthouse. High point is by concrete ? Flag pole pillar, we believe, though had a good look. Great views to other islands. Swell here even though millpond south of Tean, where boat anchored. | Denise | 17/07/2016 |
Spectacular place, superb sheltered 'landing' on steep rock wall on SE side. Iron rungs up steep rock to ledge then 166 steps to summit. Magnificent views, cloudless blue skies and hot sunshine. Dinghy survived tied to the iron rungs. | RichardM | 17/07/2016 |
Concrete pillar (not trig like - no trigs here). Outcrop 100m sw, W of helipad several m lower. Landed straight off boat onto ladder, in 3ft swell, not hard but committing. | RHW | 04/07/2016 |
On a boat trip to Annet, Gweal, North and South Hill on Samson, then Round Island before revisits to St Helens and Tresco. | Dugswell2 | 04/07/2016 |

via rusting ladder | jimbloomer | 03/07/2016 |
On a tour of nine isle tops via the Kestrel boat with a good bagger group. Super top up the stairway to the lighthouse. | nordicstar | 03/07/2016 |
Nice landing in moderate swell onto a rusting ladder on shear rock wall! Then many (didn't count them) concrete steps to summit plateau. Summit point some 70m SSE of lighthouse. Great place to be. Spent an hour lunching a third of the way down the rocks on W side - bird, seal and Men-a-Vaur watching. ***Re-visited 5 Jul 2022. Boat charter with the Kestrel, landing at SE side of island on metal ladder, at base of steps. | jonglew | 18/09/2014 |
