Not ticked.I came across this hidden away Stack Tump leafing through Sea Cliff Climbing in Britain (Cleare and Collomb 1970) where there is half a black and white photo of one side of it (obscured by the mainland cliff -with comment that the climb is 100 ft, and reached by swim or tyrollean). Does not have any accurate contours showing on OSM or Geograph, but Lidar rescued it from virtual oblivion. West Cornwall Climbers' Club Guide states: A Spectacular feature and a major breeding site for sea-birds. It has been assaulted by various methods, including swimming and Tyrolean tactics. Cuckoo bolts and pegs have also nested here and reported activities include an easy scramble to the summit (?) and a partly bolted aid climb North Face HVS +A2 1983 (R & E Edwards, P Rogers) | Chris Pearson | blank |
