For the rappel approach, park at the paved pullout and picnic area near the information board for Squamish. Hiking in via the talus slope is not recommended. Instead, walk south along the highway and after crossing a bridge, you will see the mound with the cairn marking the start of the scramble down along fixed lines.

Finishing up Star Check

Just a bunch of stupid goofs

Middle of the approach trail goes through this boulder field. Might not look obvious from this angle but the trail was quite obvious. If you pass a mangled, rusted pile of metal on your left then you are going the correct way.
