18m. An excellent pitch. Climb onto a huge block just right of Pearly Gate, then head up and follow a groove just left of the half-height overhang. © ROCKFAX

Small loose block 2/3rds height on the right of the groove - perfect for putting nuts behind but not so perfect for falling onto (I'd imagine). Took the nut out and gunned it to the nice jugs above. Other than that, it was very nice climbing on adequate holds all the way.

Cool Aesthetic route. Reminds me of a mini-Wall of the Worlds.
Alex Mason - 2nd β - 11/Apr/12 with Luke Tickle

Nice route with nice moves through the crux, nice to be back at the steepness of Swanage.

A hell of a climb. Started well but the crux had two very slippery finger holds which I fell off, twice. Then couldn't get a piece of gear out and dropped the nut key. Ended up using everything to get up, even my chin. Pretty damn desperate!

Dave Foster - 2nd O/S - Aug/08 with Carl

Good route but very awkward for me to get gear out and Marcus to place! Climb the steep groove strenously, 2 in situ wires above groove.
