The Pump Room
The Pump Room is a cave found just to the south of The Great Head in St David's. From the car park at the gun battery, find the purple brick path which eventually leads to the monument for those lost at sea. From the metal gate, follow the purple path for approximately 20 yards at which point it starts to gently curve to the left. Duck into the bushes to the right to find a path (not obvious). If you are doing some serious bushwacking then you are off route. Follow the path down through the jungle which appears to have been made by Hobbits past a fallen tree. Eventually the path starts to go back uphill. Around this point take a 90 degree left branch and follow this steeply downhill to clear the jungle. At this point you should be able to see The Pump Room straight ahead. Follow the path down some steps and a short but easy downclimb to ledges at sea-level.This cliff has the best rock of any climbing area so far developed in Bermuda and there is potential for some very hard routes. Watch out for the bee's nest at the far right of the cliff.

Very steep pumpy climbing on massive jugs, this line starts left of the mouth of the (very deep) cave and follows the pale streak to finish directly above the cave. Campus and heel-hook past five threads to an in-situ lower off. 11b but feels like 12b if the humidity is high

This trad protected climb takes the buttress left of the cave on very good white rock. Start from the ledge below the cave. Traverse leftwards off the ledge with instant exposure to climb the white streak past a massive thread (good luck threading it). At the top it is probably best to arrange protection and then move right to lower off the belay of the previous route
