From the inside of the Amphitheatre, there is an obvious roof and slot on the wall below the West Bench.
Climb up to the slot, get into it, and grunt your way up a few moves until you can exit onto the face. Climb the face more or less straight up to a steep final headwall. Climb the obvious crux finger crack for a few moves to the West Bench.
Rossiter calls this route, Slot.

You don't have to climb and thrutch through the slot. Grab the edge and climb gracefully out on positive hands and feet until the face holds appear on your left.
The description here seems to be for "Slot", Direct West Bench is five feet right of that route and the crux is a left angling crack about 25 feet off the deck.

The description here is of Rossiter's "Slot". Both of the pictures posted here are NOT of "Slot" and ARE of "Direct West Bench".
