An awful lot of trouble for a one-move climb. Scramble up the old track (it branches right below the wall) and head up and left through the snowgrass, flax, and dracophyllum to gain a vegetated ledge. Make a dodgy move right to the first bolt, which protects the step-up crux move. After that cruise up past the second bolt to the major ledge, with a chain anchor above the overhang. From here you can scramble out past the big broadleaf to the top of the wall.
