Rockfax Description
Similar quality to Gypsy with some nice steep climbing.
1) 5a, 12m. Climb the right-facing corner and move left around an arete to a ledge. Trend rightwards to another ledge and belay.
2) 5b, 30m. Climb cracks, passing the faultline with conviction and move up to a second roof. Traverse right to a shallow corner (peg) then continue to a bigger corner and finish up it. © Rockfax

βeta: Large undercling jug halfway along the traverse is very loose. Take care not to yard on it too hard or place gear behind it. | βeta? | |

βeta: Brilliant route, great positions, nice moves - both pitches very worthwhile - but better still just do it in one pitch. Far more Swanage.... Slightly easier than Gypsy in my opinion - but still great. | βeta? | |

βeta: Brilliant route nicely sustained but never desperate. Did it in two pitches and found it ok for E1. | βeta? | |

βeta: An excellent route, far better if done as one pitch with 60m (maybe 50m?) ropes, which may help bump it up to E2 | βeta? | |
