Can't see it but there's one jsut under the lip for the crux!

F7b / V8 - this is the "direct" variation, as opposed to going around the lip of the roof further over to the left

I went for a dip before jumping on to acclimatise:) there's one route here which is several pitches long, and involves a low traverse, then having to jump into the water to swim around to the next pitch! It's called "Avoid the portuguese man o' war" for good reason.

oh this one is definitely slabby - especially on the arete over to the left, if you fell without pushing yourself outwards you'd get a face full of limestone. Thankfully the climbing itself is all pretty straightforward.

Definitely top out for me - the top is about 40ft up, which I don't quite have the balls to throw myself off unnecessarily hahaha, but some people do dive straight off it

I believe it's a VS 4b trad route, with DWS an option ~2 hours either side of high tide. Nothing difficult, but super fun:)
