Start 3m right of Diagonal below a short roof-capped corner. A good first pitch but a more serious loose/shattered second.
1) 5a, 18m. Climb up and out of the roof-capped corner and then to the upper roof. Pull over to a reach a belay.
2) 4c, 20m. Climb above the belay then move right to a rib. Climb this until a large detached block allows a move left into the exit groove. Step out right at the top to finish. © Rockfax

βeta: The 1st pitch is excellent, but the 2nd pitch was incredibly loose, even for Swanage. A massive rock fell off near the top.
