Rockfax Description
Worthwhile, though the second pitch is a bit of a let-down.
1) 4c. Climb the tough cracks, the left-hand one is tricky, the right-hand crack only gives painful finger-jamming at E1 5c.
2) 4b. Finish up the awkward groove to a loose exit. © Rockfax

βeta: The second pitch is actually, to use Rockfax parlance, “well worth doing” and is the only one of the Embankment second pitches that makes sense being both directly above the first pitch and the same grade as it. | βeta? | |

βeta: More of a fight than expected. The midday sun didn\'t help. Although borderline stalking the wideboyz has paid off. Employing some unessasary off widthing techniques, to place far too much gear. | βeta? | |

βeta: Cider nut, i agree. Not a great warm up if you are no totally au fait with finger-locking and torqueing your feet (as i am not). Did exactly the same as you before deciding to warm up on somethin else. Obviously it started raining before i got to lead anything...! | βeta? | |

βeta: Attempting this as a warm up route (by someone leading around VS) is a great way to pump out for the whole day. I climbed to the niche and downclimbed three times, running out of puff on each one (I was laybacking it though, maybe that's a mistake). Will have to come back another time! | βeta? | |

βeta: A big boot on your left foot may be found useful, but may also get stuck and leave you free hanging off a finger lock in the right hand crack when you try to heave it out. | βeta? | |
