Shit loads, yeah. Go to Sennen, walk left from the beach, plenty of climbing, including good easy soloing.

Yeah, Sennen is a good call, but beware morning grease esp on the blacker rock. If you walk beyond the main cliffs there is an easy descent and then you can come back under the climbs. Parking can potentially be a bitch at busy times in summer. You can bouder a bit at the base too.

Some of the info here may be useful too.

Beware the platforms at Sennen on high tides and big swells.

you can also walk t'other way from Sennen cove over to Gwenvor and there's good bouldering along the foreshore (but tidal). Guide on Andy's site, link above
