Warlord Top 50

Fantastic main (2nd) pitch. First pitch is loose and poorly protected, take care. Top out is loose, a rope
with a jumar or similar over the edge is advised. Consider missing out the first pitch (ab straight in) and
wear a helmet as the top is very loose and close to cliff path with lots of walkers.

Great climbing but even halfway up the main pitch I found a wobbly block. Dont pull on the dodgy flake
at the first overlap on the second pitch! Also many of the pegs have small eye holes so take some slim
crabs. With a bit of patience you can get very good gear in the first pitch too.

Sandbag for 5c! Otherwise ok. Ace top pitch!

Just for the records, I notice that it says in the description that the first ascent is unknown.
Well it was put up by Brian Snell seconded by Keith Knight.

Perhaps the author should have consulted the CC guide - the FA is in there.

I think the hard bit on the second pitch is only 5c but had to rest anyway because by the time I got there I was pumped stupid. Comment about small peg eyes is accurate, though they're not ridiculously small. There are a couple of loose flakes on this pitch but nothing to worry about. The top-out is not bad for Swanage - requires care but it's not bad. First pitch is a bit friable but there is gear and it's not hard. Very good overall.

Had a similar experience to Matt yesterday. Never 6a, just very sustained at 5c. Wish I'd known about the peg eyes - they didn't like my modern lightwt hot forged krabs much! Top out is absolutely fine.

i thought this was pretty full on for E4. The top is hard, and you're pumped. BUt maybe it was just really cold and I was out of shape. End of the summer on a warm day, it might feel different. Awesome pitch, plenty gear, go for it.

similar experiences to above, plus the fact that it was only about 4 degrees yesterday and thrusting my hands into those frosty cracks was not very conducive to pulling through the crux moves! the moves past the last peg deserve 6a i think, not least because from moving off the belay until you get to the finishing holds you're on your arms - on reaching the finishing holds you're forced to stop pulling as if not they'll end up in the sea - the top out is insanely loose, even after the numerous blocks i pulled/ pushed/ kicked off!!! i'd like to agree with 3 stars for the 2nd pitch but the first pitch was unworthy and the top-out not worth going back for!
