Rockfax Description
An impressive climb for the grade that has an excellent first pitch, but finishes on some poor rock, requiring care.
1) 4b, 25m. The large corner needs some big gear. At the faultline move left to a large ledge and belay.
2) 4a, 17m. The wall and groove above and to the right of the corner is steady but has some loose blocks. © Rockfax

βeta: In one pitch. P1 great, P2 quite good... not nearly as bad as I feared. In fact, by Swanage standards it's fine !
