Notes for this place are still to be written — they'll come from the Journal, along with the season to walk it and the way in. Until then the photographs carry it.

Getting there

A place you arrive at

Not a climb

St. Mary's Island is somewhere you reach rather than something you ascend, so there is no difficulty rating here. Rating it 1 out of 5 for steepness would be answering a question nobody asked.

Notes on the approach, the season and what's worth the detour will come from the Journal.
