Wezzit?

Okay, since I’m hanging around waiting for other people to stop faffing before we can go caving:

Where am I feeling so dissatisfied with the pitchhead? For reference, I’m about 5’1”; that might have contributed to the annoyance

I imagine the last pitch of Vesper would make you feel a bit “short-changed”. It’s so long since I’ve been, though, that I can’t remember if it looks like this.
 
(Sorry, out caving all day yesterday)

No, not Short Drop / Gavel or Nettle Pot.

Part of the clue is the rope coming in from below (might not be super clear from the picture) after a small traverse up in a rift - as well as the window crawl onto a ledge/balcony at the pitch head.
 
Is that Little Hull?
Yep, that's Lille Hull Pot :)

Still one of my favourite potholes, despite the awkward placement of the bolts on the second pitch - it's not even the need to lean over the drop that I mind, they're just not in the right place to reach for short people, although probably very convenient for somebody a foot taller. The rest of the cave makes up for it, though
 
This is a sort of 'could be anywhere' snap . . . but where is it?
