Description
“The Hawk” is a three-pitch sport route offering steady technical difficulty and a beautiful sense of flow on compact limestone.
The line follows a vertical slab and a small arête, demanding precision and balance throughout.
Difficulty reaches 6b, with two distinct crux sections at 30 m and 80 m.
Protection is dense and reliable (23 bolts), and the three belays are well-positioned but without chains.
The rock is exceptionally solid and clean, with crisp holds and excellent friction.
The Hawk is considered a classic Tower sector route, combining technical movement, moderate exposure, and stunning sea views — ideal for those who enjoy steady, continuous climbing without excessive difficulty.
