South Gill 

  

OS Grid Reference: HU238823

 

This extensive area has remained relatively unexplored until recently with much of the climbing not affected by tide. This venue offers some of the more dependable routes in Shetland. The main crag is only of reasonable quality however, offering routes to 35m. The lower slabs offer some excellent easier routes but are only accessible in calm seas.

Park on top of the hilll in the parking area 100m after the cattle grid on the Tingon track and walk NW, crossing the stone dyke. Walk round the North of this geo and descend on the stepped slope down onto the "roadway" which divides the upper and lower tiers.
