UKC Logbook - 'Finale Groove'

35m.

Rockfax Description
A Swanage classic. An awesome line that tackles a tapering groove loaded with good gear and large holds. Climb the right-facing corner past a bulge at 15m into a niche. Continue past the bulge at the faultline and ascend the narrowing continuation groove in a very spectacular position. © Rockfax

Tatarek	23 Apr, 2021	Show βeta βeta: A big loose block, used as a hold judging by the chalk, 3/4 up the route. Best to ab down the line first and remove it before trying to lead. I wasn\'t in a position to do so once I figured it out.	βeta?

PaulW	31 Aug, 2005	Show βeta βeta: Great route, best I have led this year by far. 4C is about right but there is lots of it and it gets pumpy working out the best line. Found 2 old pegs. Tpo out was ok compared to most the the Ruckle.	βeta?

Phil not the power Taylor	9 Aug, 2004	Show βeta βeta: 4C probably, but sustained 4C from under the bulge which makes it feel more like 5A. Great Route. Gritty and ever so slightly loose exit certainly concentrates the mind! Only seems to be one rusty peg near the top now.	βeta?

GrahamD	12 Nov, 2001	Show βeta βeta: Superb ! Sustained quality and safe. The crux maybe outwitting the first bulge but the most intimidating section is right at the top. The top 10' felt a bit looser (11/11/01) than I remembered it ?	βeta?
