Logged Descriptions  (logged by 4 users)ByDate of Ascent
With RHW and Dugswell2, after La Grune. Initially investigated a descent of the headland from Pilcher Monument although knew this not really viable. Cycled round to Gouliot Headland where bikes were dropped. Pleasant walk, bit of a scramble down to a point where the rock dropped off 10m or so above a channel separating Gouliot from the headland. Rope assisted climb down very useful, probably essential for me. Channel proved to be a tricky crosing but dry feet were maintained, then a steep but straightforward scramble up the summit giving fine views over Gouliot Channel to the Brecqhou HP. Rope was less essential climbing up, but still handy. GPS gave the HP as N49.43141, W2.37961.jonglew09/07/2017
After La Grune, biked to Pilcher Mon for suberb view of Gouliot and Brecqhou, obviously no way over without boat, biked to Gouliot headland, path down then easy steep grassy scrambly descent to top of 10m cliff at S end of channel, fixed half-rope round rock spike and used to augment handholds on downclimb, good footholds, then easy scramble to N end of channel for easy 2ft wade (me) or tricky boulder hop (Jon) then straightforward steep ascent R of cliff with deep well-rooted grass useful in places, a few young herring gulls, summit a nice arete with great view across to the nearby but Forbidden Brecqhou, across a tide race still running fast at low water. Back same way OK with rope useful on reascent, about Diff. Channel ok at low spring tide but not much leeway, likely not doable on neap. No access along coast from N side of headland due to deep water.RHW09/07/2017
We rejected a land approach due to the steep sided tidal channel but it does dry at LW and may be accessible via the path to the caves on the N of the headland. Gouliot looks most easy to ascend from the south side and so we chose to access by dinghy from Gosseilin Bay, our main concerns being barnacle damage to the rubber dinghy and swell. Probably best done at low water though we had lost time by exploring the land route. We landed easily at LW+2 Springs in light NW winds. (Note: the Pilcher landing can only be accessed by ladder at LW and SW winds pile swell into the bay esp at HW when rocks to S are covered.)It was a quick and easy scramble across slabs and grass to the slightly crumbly summit ridge (10 mins). Gulls swooped and some guano present.Descended same way. Swell had increased quite a lot in 20 mins as tide rose. However, refloated dinghy with just one wet foot and managed to depart without damage to dinghy.Denise 26/06/2017
A 15m high near vertical cliff thwarts easy access from the mainland of Sark. We were moored in Havre Gosselin and decided braving an approach by dinghy the best option. Once landed on the S side it's an easy scramble YDS2 to the summit, highest point at centre of summit ridge. N49.43142deg, W002.37968deg. 55m WGS84 Great views including the summit of Brechou with its giant cross. In the short time we were ashore the swell increased providing a worrying launch and return to the dinghy.RichardM26/06/2017
