A friendly community can often be found on the Cob!<br> <br> This photo shows pitches 2 and 3 combined. It is well worth this combination (or 1 and 2 together). Better still, if you have enough 0.5-1.5" pieces, stitch all three together (a 60m is definitely required for this).
On the crux moves of Empor, almost feels 5.8.
Direct dihedral start of pitch 1, Empor. This start is definitely 5.8 without using the boulder. However, the difficult climbing with scant protection is down low. Several laybacks and "thank-god" holds as well as ample pro greet the leader in the second half of this photo and beyond.<br> <br> The standard route cruises up and to the climber's right, but it shares many of the same difficulties down below.

That is, confusing for most people. Not Ben though.
Ben Mottinger starts up the confusing first pitch of the route.
Todd Jewell enjoying a fine day out, setting up for a belay after pitch 1. Through the miracle of camera tilting, the slabby 5.7 dihedral has been transformed into a steep and strenuous 5.10+ corner.
