La Guet Area

La Guet is the only landlocked, developed crag in Guernsey. The rock quality is good, but the routes tend to become lichenous. It is a crag usually used for abseiling, with anchors set into the top. (Currently under inspection). However, there are also climbs up the face.

How do I get there?

Carpark location

A few hundred yards south of Cobo bay the landward side of the road is dominated by a quarried outcrop, there is a car park either directly below or at the fort at the top of the crag. A path leads to the foot of the crag from the road.
