Bosigran is a large, heavily-featured traditional granite sea-cliff perched high above a boulder-strewn cove and, more often than not, a boiling cauldron of icy blue Atlantic waters. However, this is not a wholly accurate picture as the main cliff itself is in reality way above the clutches of even the highest of spring tides or wild seas.

Bosigran is a crag suited to all; from those just starting out, to long time aficionado's. Being close to the western tip of Cornwall, a visit to Bosigran for most will require a bit of a journey hence it tends to be sampled as part of a climbing holiday. Après-climbing activities ranging from surfing and sunbathing to eating pasties and drinking cider make a welcome break from climbing, especially if the body has been ravaged by the frequently physical nature of the routes, but eventually you are sure to be tempted back onto the rock.

Bosrigan has gained itself a mighty fine reputation of being one of the most beautiful and cherished rock climbs in the UK. The crag is located in West Penwith, known for its secluded coves, beaches, and stark moors.

In order to climb the rock, experience and equipment is absolutely necessary. There is some very detailed information here regarding the different climbs and the difficulty levels, it's worth checking it out before your visit. ukclimbing.com/articles/destinations/bosigran_-_cornwalls_granite_beauty-2971
