Rock climbing at Dancing Ledge

We walked from Swanage to Dancing Ledge today and saw this chap rock climbing. It's a very popular spot. On our return, we heard the rescue helicopter and later found out that one of the climbers along the coast had to be rescued. The lifeboat was out from Swanage and we saw some policemen on foot as well.
It was a beautiful day and we walked over 8 miles, lovely to hear the skylarks singing and we spotted two deer in the distance.
Dancing Ledge is part of the Jurassic coast, near Langton Matravers on the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset. It is so called because at certain stages of the tide when the waves wash over the horizontal surface, the surface undulations cause the water to bob about making the ledge appear to dance. It was certainly doing that today.
