55m, 2 pitches.

Rockfax Description
A worthwhile climb, although the finish is very unstable and a pre-placed rope should be left down the final slope. The finish is found 5 fence posts west of the third wall, where a gap through the gorse leads to stakes on the right. Run the rope over a semi-buried boulder in the top of the slope. Start at a pointed boulder.
1) 4b, 17m. Climb the short rounded arete and then move up and right to a corner which is followed to the faultline.
2) 4c, 18m. Move back left to the corner and climb to a roof. Traverse right carefully to a ledge on the arete. Traverse back left over the roof to another ledge and climb the groove above (peg). © Rockfax

βeta: Good climb. Top out not that bad by Swanage standards. Couldn't find a stake so belayed sat in the bushes.
