DrGav	18 Aug, 2004	Show βeta βeta: Glad others found it loose! 2nd pitch requires courage and we also backed up the stake belay with a post [although found another stake just further on the right later]	βeta?

Bob M	16 Sep, 2002	Show βeta βeta: Ignore my previous comment! The section of the flake which was hanging precariously over the top corner has now gone too, leaving a finish which seems safe and solid by Swanage standards, with excellent protection. The new finish is a bit harder than anything on the original route, upping the grade to HS, 4b.	βeta?

Bob M	4 Sep, 2000	Show βeta βeta: Most of the exit flake on pitch 2 has fallen down - this section now looks very unstable. A safer finish is to climb straight up from the start of the traverse on pitch 2 at VS 4c (the top half of Parallel Lines)	βeta?
