Climbing Subliminal A 30 foot high cliff close to the car park just above the high water mark with a bag full of good routes, its no wonder that everybody heads for this place but don't forget the absail rope.
   
  Cattle Troughs More Limestone cliff with a handfull of VS routes which make it well worth a visit. Whats more you can scramble down to the base of the climbs making it perfect if the absail rope is still at home.
   
  Dancing Ledge The lower tier is packed full of short easy routes and yards of bouldering whilst the back wall has about fifty bolted routes.
   
  Hedbury Quarry A handfull of bolted routes and a few trad routes on the sea wall and the added bonus of a rusty cannon looking out to sea.
   
  Winspit Quarry More good and hard bolted routes in a secluded bit of swanage, plus an excellent pub on the way back to the car
   
  St. Aldens Head The only way to discribe this place is loose, bits of rock fall off all over the place. Big bits and little bits come flying down the cliff with regular monotony, because of this the climbing is a little, how you say, adventurous.
