My partner and I got really off route between the 4th and 5th pitch. Extremely scary and chossy. Avoid this mistake and do not follow the crack after 4th belay. Get off crack, and go left fairly soon after leaving grassy belay ledge on to easy, run out face climbing!
Looking down on pitch 6.
Seems like everyone does the top half slightly differently. Here's what we did, which ties in with Charles Vernon's route description. On pitch 6 we did a rising rightwards traverse past a loose block and a piton, then continued traversing to a comfortable belay at the base of a right-facing corner.
