Thin crack line with an undercut start. Start from the left, using the first bolt of Megaherb, then climb the crack on natural protection. Step right to the chains. The direct start is 21/22 with untrustworthy protection (unless the bolt is pre-clipped)

The right-hand crack just left of the fence. Undercut start, then up the crack (crux) to the ledge. Originally the climb continued with a step left on to the large block, then straight up over blocks to exit right in a scrubby gully. Nowadays you can abseil from the QBE chains.
