I found the gear in the pocket (I had a small cam in there, which pulled when I fell on it anyway) got in the way of where I wanted my left foot, both to hold, and move off the "lone" 2 finger pocket. Without the gear in there it was much easier. As JB says, after the long move from the 2 finger pocket to the first of the breaks at 20 feet or so, it eases off and is about VS to the top.
