Description
P1. Start just left of the open book, and climb up towards several clean white/orange overhangs, staying on the left face (which is regrettably not so clean). Move left as the overhangs on the right lean out over the left face. There are a lot of good holds and pro here.
According to the grey Dick Williams, there is white rock with a wide crack in it off to the right somewhere here, and you're supposed to move up a bit right on it. I did not see this, and eventually wound up diagonaling left. This put me in lichen territory with poor holds covered in grassy dirty tussocks. I think with a good cleaning this section could be fun. Be careful, there is at least one brick-sized loose block on the route near the top.
Once you clear the grass and dirt, you'll get to a ledge covered in pine needles. I aimed for the closest tree and pulled up on that to top out.
P2. According to Dick Williams, this pitch is not worthwhile. He has some brief instructions - see the book if you are interested. I didn't do this pitch.
