Approach
The crag lies on the coast 1.5 km south of Craster near the hamlet of Howick. Cars should be parked in the lay-by, from where a path leads down to the foreshore and thence to the base of the crag in 5 minutes. The routes on the eastern end of the crag are inaccessible at high tide, and the whole crag is out of bounds during April to August because of the nesting Kittiwakes.
Routes
The Ramp alternate finish 4c
3 metres down the ramp, gain a thin, vertical crack in the wall above by an awkward move and climb to the top.
To the right of Franks Rib is an area of scarred rock where a large detached pinnacle formerly formed a chimney with the main face. This classic back and foot chimney unfortunately disappeared when the pinnacle fell into the sea in 1965. The area is at present unstable.
