You get another piece in the steep climbing and then you're on easy ground (albeit with no gear, but it's 4c - you can't really moan about unprotected 4c on an E3, surely?).
The top is OK, but my memory of the bottom half involves half-in RPs, a single Friend half that barely held it's own weight and the certain conviction that falling off the crux would be one of the worst ideas ever.
I am prepared to accept that I muffed up the small gear lower down, and missed something on the steeper bit before the crux rockover, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for stuff at the safer end of E3, brilliant though it is.
However, I'd add The Swan (Roaches) as "scary but safe", maybe Tippler Direct at Stanage (although I haven't done this), Boot Hill at Cratcliffe, Stormbringer at Gardoms if you can mantle, Crocodile at Gardoms for something slightly bolder, Waterloo Sunset at Gardoms for something bolder still (but still less dangerous than Censor), Rainy Day Blues at Turning Stone and The Logic Book at Stanage if you're feeling technically competant.
