Tom's sorted us out:

not a topo as such, but looks like it'll get you there and point you in the right general direction.
JonI:
Cool, thanks for that. Looks sweet! Might try to get down that way for the May bank holiday.
TN080:
Over the last few months I have been making several trips to Tintagel boulders adding several new lines with the help of a few others. Most of which have been easier problems but amongst these were a few good quality harder lines that had initially been walked past. This now provides the crag with over 15 problems graded font 7A and above, as well as a few remaining projects for visiting hardmen. The hardest line Colorado Dreaming has still yet to see a second ascent despite being one of the best problems on the Cornish coast. With the new additions the crag is now a must visit for anyone bouldering in the area.
List of the best 7A<.
The Mini Link 7A* (D. Westlake) The central section of Sharmajection finishing up the 6A aręte.
118 7A* (T. Newberry) The full R-L traverse of the backside of the purple haze bloc.
Purple Haze (Original) 7A*** (T. Newberry) The original LH exit to the popular classic.
Pink Floyd * 7A (D. Westlake) In the centre of the backside of the purple haze block. SDS on a small pocket LH and low Crimp RH, finish in high juggy break.
Man O’War 7A* (T. Newberry) Located in the collection of boulders opposite Blue Ray. Climb the faint crack line, starting on chest high sidepulls, using a razor sharp pocket and some trickery. Project still remains on the wall to the right.
The Apprentice 7A/+** (T. Newberry) The shallow diagonal ramp line to the right of Purple Haze. Start sitting on the boulder big moves trend rightwards.
Planet Earth 7A+* (T. Newberry) climb the prow from low and right, found at the back of the boulders behind the project wall. The rock quality isn’t as good as other problems but it is none tidal and stays dry in light rain; needs a couple pads.
The Dismissal 7A+/B* (T. Newberry) Link the start of The Apprentice into the top of Purple Haze via some positive crimps.
How to Spoon feed Blue Rays 7B*** (T. Newberry) From the start of the sharmajection traverse (Opposite Purple Haze) climb the steep aręte until it is possible the traverse into the cave and up Blue Ray. Hard for the Grade.
Go Medium 7B** (M. Cleverdon) A reverse of the previous problem; start up Blue Ray and traverse out the cave and rock up onto the slab, the bold may continue up to the top.
Sharmajection 7B** (T. Newberry) The big traverse of the first bloc from L-R, staying low (French 7Cish).
All Along the Watchtower 7B*** (T. Newberry) Climb Purple Haze RH to the lip, then follow the rising line of positive crimps into and up The Apprentice. Amazing!
Purple Haze Eliminate 7B* (T.Newberry) Climb Purple Haze LH without the small undercut/sidepull. A good crimpy version for those who tick everything else.
Kids 7B+ ** (T. Newberry) In the cave at the rear of the main sector. Pull on a small flake in the roof and powerfully blast to the lip, easier but equally good climbing follows through the steep roof on good holds to a high-ish top out.
Colorado Dreaming 7C+ *** (T. Newberry) The obvious steep flake line on the back side of the Kids boulder. SDS matched on the bottom of the flake. Hard and involved climbing leads through to an intimidating top out.
Dr T:
Out of interest has there been a "proper" topo done for here since the last post?
Did a quick google but no joy....
Duma:
Not as far as I'm aware. Until TN080's (Tom Newberry?) post the best link I had was the stuff on rustypeg.
A topo would be great as I'm generally not bad at finding my way about and still didn't manage to find all the stuff last spring when I went down.
