UKC Logbook - 'Quality Street'

Rockfax Description
An outstanding pitch packed with excellent holds and climbing and with the added benefit of a solid finish. One of Swanage's best HVSs. Move up the wall on great holds to a flake at 10m, before climbing rightwards on steeper ground to reach the faultline (possible belay). Gain the steep wall on the left above the faultline and take this to an overhang. Go left and up into a shallow corner with difficulty, before easier bridging and crack climbing finishes this memorable pitch. © Rockfax

AJ007	30 May, 2007	Show βeta βeta: Not as good as finale Groove! The line is just not as continuous and a little easier. I think this is the easiest HVS I have ever climbed, I wont argue about the grade though because it is a tiny bit awkward to protect due to strange shaped cracks. Great adventure, especially if you scamper across from Guillemot Ledge (calm seas, and low tide only).	βeta?

clipskipper	20 Mar, 2006	Show βeta βeta: Can easily ab in from just above the route. Lovely quiet spot in the sun, so your gear's safe. Need to make sure the ab is to the left though (or the tide is out)! Oh, and a lovely route.	βeta?

Owen W-G	8 Aug, 2005	Show βeta βeta: An excellent route, steep and sustained on massive holds. Comparable in quality to Finale Groove, but a tad easier. Optional lie down rest at the half-height break. Best approached across the boulders from Guillemot east.	βeta?
