Some new crags on the east Lizard.
Not sure how much attention they’re gonna garner as it’s a pretty far removed area from most people, but thought it was worth reporting them somewhere.
All crags are on UKC but a lot of the easier problems haven’t been added yet.
Porthkerris
Lone boulder near the diving centre with a few easier things and this arete:

Spernic Cove
Slabby boulder on the beach, with the best thing so far being the left side of the slab, not using the arete or crack near it. Line to the right is a project.

Further along is a large overhang with some easier problems either side and an interesting (and hard?) crack project, with unfortunately snappy rock at the top.
Compass Cove
The most extensive venue, and the most potential for new things.
Some vids:

Might put together some proper topos at some point!

Nice Ed, I might get a chance to look at a few of these next week

Cool - you can combine Compass Cove and Spernic Cove by boulder hopping along at lowish tide which should give a decent session. Let me know if you want more info.

cheers, did you approach from kennack? Or is there easier options in the lanes somewhere?

edit - nvm, just seen the coordinates on the UKC page

No worries, you can approach from Kennack too but haven't done it, think it's paid parking? Not sure.

Good work Ed. Would be cool if you’re happy to share info with Tom Last, who is in the process of putting together a bouldering guide for Cornwall. Let me know if you want me to PM his contact details to you.

I do actually have his contact details so will drop him a message! Cheers.

Did Breathe today, excellent. Daughter not amused by the path down and there's no sand at the boulder atm which made the landing fairly terrifying without a mat, but well worthwhile for all that. Cheers for the tip Ed

Ah good to hear, can imagine it would be pretty scary without a pad even with the sand there! Good effort.
