UKC Logbook - 'Wall Street'

32m, 2 pitches.

Rockfax Description
A stunning little expedition featuring good rock, holds and a solid top-out. Start just right of Quality Street.
1) 4b, 17m. Good holds lead up and right to a crack. Keep going on the same line past a ledge to the faultline. Traverse right to a stance on the arete just above the faultline.
2) 4b, 15m. The narrow groove above gains a solid top-out. © Rockfax

hp8g12	5 Nov, 2020	Show βeta βeta: Abseil shit me up - I’m just never sure about stakes. I lead P1, went too far to the left initially although this wasn’t really an issue as the holds are fine (pro a little ropey in places). Enjoyed the climbing once in the crack/flake system. Traverse was pants. I almost took a picture of the blue DMM nut at the belay - bombers. P2, well lead by Liam, seemed shorter than described although lovely positions high on the rock. Pretty cool.

JimOakleyAdventures	1 Jul, 2020	Show βeta βeta: Ab in using stake and small wire at back wall. 2hrs either side of LW Swanage tide. Traversing start was fun and over the small overhang. Found small ledge next to large 2ft block that had old CAM in it. Inserted wire in and pulled - oops This dislodged 2ft square block across my left left shoulder, bruising arm and broke left hand metacarpal - owww. Landed well away from Jess. Found three other points to set up belay with bloody hand belayed her up. This block was in direct line of next pitch Not anymore Take care on top pitch

JimOakleyAdventures	21 May, 2020	Show βeta βeta: Great route. Using the 1ft stake next to back wall and some other pro abseiled down -2hrs before Swanage LW. Calm seas and minimal wind/waves Top of first pitch good climb with plenty of pro and good holds. However, whilst setting up mid belay a 2ft square block pulled off and fortunately didn’t pull me off but punctured hand and block whizzed safely 10m away from belayer into sea. ! ???? Final pitch is good also but check holds before pulling up.... 80 mins from start of abseil to both at top.
