Straight up at the left edge of the roof. The overhang on small holds leads to easier climbing up a wall, over a bulge and finishes up a juggy wall.

This seems to be fully bolted now

4 bolts? I only found 3 (and a longish runount on easy ground to the anchors). Bottom is very well protected now (was quite exciting back when it had just 1 bolt)

I doubt that much has been updated from the original info.

nah, if it was original description it'd say it only had one bolt (where the 3rd now is). It is possible I just never found the 4th, but I had a pretty good hunt (was quite motivated to find it as whilst it's very easy ground up top it's a long way down to the last bolt)

In Lindsays Port Hills Guide it says "1 bolt and meagre natural pro "

A big move right from the start which I found very fun
