[Guy Maddox on Vortices (E2 5c, 5b), Boulder Ruckle East, Dorset, 3 kb]

40m, 2 pitches. A mix of the sustained and strenuous on a strong line makes this a route worth tracking down. Start right of a corner, below a large roof. 1) 5c, 20m. Move up the thin wall to a large hanging flake and pull right into a short corner. Go up to a horizontal break, and traverse rightwards again, until just beyond a vertical crack. Climb the wall on reasonable holds to the fault-line and belay. 2) 5b, 20m. Pull onto the wall above, follow it to a corner, and climb this to the top - the upper section of Strongbow. © ROCKFAX
