Description
UK grade of E3 5c. A must do for anyone at the grade in Pembroke.
Who knew E3 trad could be this overhung? Thankfully made up for with plenty of gear, massive holds, and nice rests, Zeppelin tackles what feels like it should be an impossible line for the grade up the intimidating overhanging wall on the left of Mother Carey's Kitchen.
The route has a large ledge that allows for being split into 2 pitches, but is most enjoyably tackled as 1 mega pitch.
P1: Climb up large holds to the right of a tide pool to massive threads, some of which may have fixed cord you can clip. Always inspect these for wear, and otherwise place your own with slings. Continue up steep overhangs finding the large holds when possible up to the large belay ledge. See if you can find the kneebar and tenuous lay-down hands free rests in between steep sections!
P2: Pull up to the corner on the left side of the belay ledge, and continue more easily to the top. Build a gear anchor with outcrops above, but carefully ensure said rocks are solid.
Access: At low tide, ab in off the stake in the dip to climbers left of Brazen Buttress and scramble along the rocks to the base of the route by a tide pool, or do a targeted abseil at higher tide.
