Fawlty Towers
Half way up the Purau Valley on the west side, a mass of rock crags are visible from the road to the Monument. Two reasonable crags are amongst these - Fawlt y Towers and Purau Valley Wall. The right cliff, Fawlty Towers, was first visit ed by Murray Judge and Hugh Logan in 1976/77. Then Tim Wethey, Nigel Perry, and Peter Cleary visited in 1986.
Purau Valley Wall is 100m L of Fawlty Towers. There is only one recorded route, but there is lots of rock and promise here. The cliff is steep, high, and blank grooves abound - bring your bolt kit.
Access to these cliffs is from the back of Diamond Harbour. On the minor back-road to Church Bay, park at end of seal. Landowner is Blakely/Keenan. Walk up th e ridge for approx. 30 minutes. Just before a trig, drop down on the Purau Valley side. Map Ref: M36 888282.
Purau Valley Wall
| Ancient Gallery | 16 | 25m | Jonathon Gandy '90 |  |
The large L-facing corner. Loose and scary. Leads to an arse-ripping finish. Death potential.
Fawlty Towers
The first two routes start from a ledge which is grovelled onto from the L.
| Fifty Guillotines | 17 | 10m | Tim Wethey '86 | |
The cutting edge of modern climbing. The obvious chimney. Start in chimney or, in a vain attempt to miss out 20 of the guillotines, on the R wall. Nice finish, otherwise scary.
| * Scorpion | 18 | 10m | Tim Wethey '86 | |
The L-facing corner. A nice bridging route on good rock, with a little nip in its tail.
| The Snarl | 16 | Callum Hudson '86 | |
Down and R of Scorpion. Up a L-facing corner. Trend L up slab above.
| Bombay Chimney | 16 | Murray Judge '76 | |
The prominent chimney in the middle of the cliff with an overhang at the top.
| Ivory Corner | 14 | Murray Judge (solo) '76 | |
Grooves lead to a prominent R-facing corner with hollow blocks at the top.
| Swift | 17 | Nigel Perry '86 | |
On the slabby wall R. of I.C.. Climb cracks to 2/3 height, down and R to arete. Finish up the R side of this. Adequate pro.
| The Yellow Peril | 16 | Tim Wethey '86 | |
Climb up to below a loose yellow overhang. Move L and up more solid corner above.
| * Ama Dablam | 16 | Nigel Perry '86 | |
A reasonably nice route up the L side of the bulging block. Adequate pro.
