Rockfax Description
A brilliant outing for the grade, travelling through some awesome overhangs with good protection. Start below a niche.
1) 5b, 10m. Attain the small niche then move right into a chimney. Swing right along a roof and climb a groove to the next roof. Ape through this to an amazing hanging perch and belay.
2) 6a, 10m. Power boldly through the roof-crack on the right to below another roof. Traverse left to an arete, then climb the corner above to finish. © Rockfax

βeta: A great outing and perfectly protected too. The only hard move is getting round the roof and by hard, we mean f-ing desperate, even for swanage. We had to aid the mother and that was hard enougth ! PS- belay hard to arrange so that you don't get pulled of your perch when your leader rests / falls on the gear !!! | βeta? | |
