Getting into position for the rap down into the gully for the start of the climb. It isn't straightforward !

This route is easy to find if you know where to look. This photo is taken from the parking area. The easily identified route "Fender Bender" is just out of the frame to the left. Approach by scrambling up the slab and dropping into the small gully beyond it.

I found the beta 4 the SCRAMBLE IN to the base of the route in parts vague. So I tried to clarify with this composite. <br> 1) around boulder and into 2nd gully <br> 2) up a small corner <br> 3) down climb class 4 (Adam G photo) <br> *) -above view- <br> No Rap needed
Approach to the climb. It is a downclimb there is no rappel needed to get there and it's easy to climb back out.
The rap anchors are not easy to find because they are a foot or so down into the gully. Sc is the approx. location of a 10 ft scramble back up onto the low-angle slab; but in climbing down it there is a well-hidden foothold.
