UKC Logbook - 'The Spook'

33m, 2 pitches.

Rockfax Description
A sustained, varied climb and one of the best E1s at Swanage. Start under a prominent, smooth-sided corner.
1) 5a, 18m. Climb a corner to the roof, and swing right to beneath a smooth sided corner. Climb the fine corner to the mid-height break and belay on a ledge to the right.
2) 5b, 15m. Step right onto the wall and climb easily, but boldly up to the chert band and roof - old hidden peg. Arrange good gear and step left. Pull over the overhang and finish up the bold wall. © Rockfax

Iain Weymouth	3 Apr, 2021	Show βeta βeta: Wonderful contrasting pitches. There's a wedged cam (not mine!) next to the decrepit peg at the P2 overlap. These two together plus the infamous high big nut should be plenty for the pull onto the wall.

Different Steve	13 Nov, 2001	Show βeta βeta: Top pitch is fairly serious if you go left - Moves after the initial section are tricky and protected by poorish small wire(s). Not at all obvious which way to go.	βeta?
