Rockfax Description
A mighty challenge tackling the triple-roof-stack head on is the hardest roof at Swanage. It is well protected.
1) 6c, 12m. Climb to the roof and contort through the right-hand ceiling crack to belay around the lip on threads and wires.
2) 6b, 10m. Cross the next 3m ceiling, past a large jug, into a small corner. Swing up right to a semi-hanging belay.
3) 6a, 15m. Go over the roof and up a groove in the headwall before going left to finish as for Absence Makes the Heart. © Rockfax
