The route, with approximate belay sites. The first pitch is blocked by the trees.
You can stretch a rope from the P1 Belay to the ledge with bushes in a long 65 meter pitch at ~ 5.7 .. There is a tasty finger crack right at the end, and is a great way to link / pass parties. It is also much more direct than the normal P2 & P3 route.

Fun 5.7 (red dots) 'variation' to White Maiden's Walkaway. This was well protected the whole way. <br> <br> Photo Credit: Chris D. I only added red dots, the rest of the Topo was all him.

Photo of White Maiden's Walkaway, with the route drawn on it. You can either start directly behind the tall trees, or left at the smaller tree. The best place for the first belay is at a smaller tree hidden behind the larger one.

Ready for Pitch 3
Do to the large amount of people on this route we took a few fun variations.
5.6 variation after first pitch...do it !!
At the 3rd pitch traverse to the vertical crack. Above this pitch is where the step around or doubtful corner is.
