Follow this as it rises steeply to left, then make a tricky move into vegetated niche. Continue up left and after 3m move out right across vegetated rake to rib leading diagonally left. Follow this to below overhang. Make two awkward moves across the right-hand wall to vegetation. Move back left on to the Delta Face to a stance above the overhang as for Larceny Pitch 3.

We climbed the first pitch today as a more direct start to pussyfoot. Quite an interesting pitch with good gear and not any troublesome veg. worth it's star. Grade seemed about correct. Length is 40M though |
