Rockfax Description
A good intimidating outing. Start at a rightward-slanting flake-crack in the wall right of Finale Groove. High in the grade.
1) 4b, 18m. Climb the juggy crack and its continuation to the faultline. Traverse right to a ledge and belay next to a boulder.
2) 5a, 20m. The second pitch of Sweet SA. © Rockfax

βeta: Absolutely cracking route with a great and (for Swanage) solid 2nd pitch. Got confused by Rockfax pic of 2nd pitch, which appears to go diagonally across to next corner, but the description is correct, up the grey wall and left into the corner above the first pitch. Quite hard climbing for VS but the gear and rock is excellent.
