The second pitch of 1623/87 starts as a small hole following a
steeply dipping roof tube where the floor of the entrance chamber is
almost choked by boulders. The second bolt is just before the pitch starts
to open out and drop below this tube. Nick Thorne is seen here on the
thrutchy top section of the pitch about to reach the bolt.
