In reply to Kirill:
I found Keelhaul nice for E2, one of my favourite Pembroke routes. It has a little run-out but is ultimately safe, and the climbing is great.
If rather than the slightly bolder, smaller holds slab/wall thing you'd rather a totally safe strenuous struggle then Charenton Crack is worth a look. Other people seem to think it's hard, but they've probably never done a Peak HVS.
I don't like the St Govs routes much, but of the E2s
- Deranged is a decent route (if rather unmemorable), worth E2
- Ricochet is a path. Anyone who thinks that's what a 5c crak feels like is in for a shock when they actually encounter one. 5c cracks tend not to have jugs and footholds.
- War Crime is a bad line. You'd natually go into the neighbouring E1 for a bit, but the route climbs this harder, slightly loose flake thing instead.
- Depraved is dreadful. Avoid.
Agree that Barcud is a great place to go for the E1 climber, worth the drive.
And the obvious choice is still Beast from the Undergrowth: a must for the aspirant E2 leader being a soft touch and being in the Leap.
