Portlands west coast is considered one of the UKs best venues for sport routes (which are well bolted), across all grates. The east coast offers many easier sport routes, as well as bouldering and deep water soloing.
Rockfax.com is an excellent resource offering a database of route information for the whole of Portland climbing route information.
The Wessex Mountineering Club occasionally meet on Portland.
