For the start go past the black chimney and around the pinnacle. Then go up the gulley towards the white rock and look for the first bolt left. See start of climb picture

Climbing one of the last pitches

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
Climber seconding the crux 10th pitch
Excellent scenery.
Thanks Paul for the photos and topo!
Dropped pin is the route. Line shows roughly the approach
looking from the traverse section to the far right, nice view, route isnt shown in this photo at all
