Thanks Paul for the photos and topo!
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

When you reach the first waterfall you'll cross the creek and ascend the rock band via climbers left.
There is a trail that splits left here, but keep going up keeping on the right of the creek.
Climber seconding the crux 10th pitch
Climber seconding the 8th pitch. First pitch off the big ledge after the walk
Excellent scenery.
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
we are rapping 60m skipping some stations, please dont use this for route finding as we are rapping where most people dont. picture is from the start of the traverse section looking up at a belay station a couple pitches up.
