The rock type is mostly horneblende schist and there is no real soapstone to speak of though some of the mica schists do have a distinctly 'shiny' appearance. The rock quality is generally good and friction excellent over most of the headlamd.It is a complex headland of zawns, cliffs, ridges, slabs, pinnacles and many hidden little nooks with a wide range of climbing, mostly on very good rock, with grades ranging from Moderate to E5 (and, for this coast, the obligatory XS) Recent development over the last two years has been extensive and has uncovered a great adventure playgorund for those determined enough to explore. The Climbers Club is currently working on a new and separate guide to The Lizard.
