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.

When you reach the first waterfall you'll cross the creek and ascend the rock band via climbers left.

Climber seconding the 8th pitch. First pitch off the big ledge after the walk
Excellent scenery.
