An A to Z of Swanage trad routes. The idea is to get a spread of locations, include some less well known routes as well as some classics, and keep the grades below E1. Unfortunately there's not much choice for the letter X. Maybe once I've done the rest I'll be strong enough to tackle Ximenes?! Complete this list and you will have visited 10 different crags and collected nearly 50 guidebook stars.
