Stubsey did the first glory pitch (why does it only get one star in the guide?) and I got the scarey choss pitch(oh yeah 3 stars for the first and minus 2 for the second-and where should it go?). Stubsey reconed it was a lot harder than his previous Swanage VS.
mikehenesy - AltLd - 15/Oct/11 with Carl Stubbs

1st pitch- steep, juggy and pumpy with good gear and solid rock 2nd pitch- makes you think more (less juggy) less gear and a lot of loose rock through out. the harder of the two pitches

Cheese Monkey - Lead dnf - 11/Jul/11 with Simon C

Tough sustained climbing on pitch one, how is this VS if Aventura is HVS? and how 4c if Tensor 11 is 5a, Swanage grades make no sense, beware! I placed gear to pass the jammed (loose!) flakes at about 18m but was totally pumped with nothing left to pull over. I lowered off and Ben climbed through to the belay. The peg & thread made us wonder if we where on The Tool E2 5b, it really did seem that hard, however photos on UKC seem to show we where on Hiedelberg Creature, I lead through for pitch two but traversed left for easier ground and the top out, the thin finger crack can wait for another day.

DaNo123 - AltLd - 25/Sep/10 with NICK, steve

Great first pitch with some quite steep sections but lots of good holds. quite difficult to find gear for the belay at the fault line due to poor rock, but it's a big ledge that can fit 4 people comfortably so long as you don't want to stand up. Second pitch much easier in a great situation. Good gear all the way. Lead first pitch

Sustained first pitch with 'three' bulges rather than rockfax's proposed 'one'! Nice Pitch all the same, with positive holds when you need them. P2 is frightfully loose at the top with some worringly large, wobbly blocks. Luca pulled off one the size of a horse's head as he started seconding P2...also DON'T USE THE OBVIOUS THREAD FOR PROTECTION, IT SOUNDS TOTALY DETACHED! However, as long as care is taken, it is a fun route, worth doing :)
