Good route, nice to have the traveerse to give a bit of variety to Millstone crack routes. Not sure if I had done this before, maybe it was Tea for 2 I had seconded before...
eduardo - 2nd O/S - 11/Aug/12 with Misha

Tough crack (painful in places) and entertaining traverse

was planning on doing the e3 but was a bit greasy and i wasn't really mentaly prepared (read: i whimsyed out) properjob good though-probably better in my book than emb 4 as more sustained.

A combination of a cut finger, sore shoulder and one too many awkward finger locks.

Hard! Milstone gets me every time.

Quite hard work I thought. Lots of standing around getting headfucked on tiny footholds and poor finger jams. Mmmmmm Nice!

Found this absolutely desperate - MUCH harder than Embankment 3. Surely worth 5c? Completely drained by the time I finally dragged myself to the top!
