Location of the first bolt on Pitch 1 is somewhere in the yellow zone. Notice the big black roof, top right of the photo, as described in the approach.
Thanks Paul for the photos and topo!
looking from the traverse section to the far right, nice view, route isnt shown in this photo at all
There is a trail that splits left here, but keep going up keeping on the right of the creek.
Climbing one of the last pitches
For the start go past the black chimney and around the pinnacle. Then go up the gulley towards the white rock and look for the first bolt left. See start of climb picture
More from Paul (thanks Paul!)
When you reach the first waterfall you'll cross the creek and ascend the rock band via climbers left.
