Start in the wide crack aptly named "The Bush." The first pitch goes to a nice ledge with newly bolted rappel anchors.

Looking down from the top of the final pitch on Yorkey's Crumpet.
The route description for this climb is good, but the original picture provided for the climb is incorrect. Yorkey's Crumpet does the first 3/4 of the cliff line (first pitch and half of the bush) then traverses right on the ledge 3/4 of the way up to the base of the right-facing, open book dihedral corner with a splitter hand crack for 50 feet. The original photo has the route ending out left below the trees, which contradicts the route description. I hope this photo clarifies. It is possible to link pitches 1 and 2 up to the base of the dihedral corner with some good rope management.
