Start at the pool and scramble up left to a single bolt belay, climb the easy groove to the break and hand traverse left to the upper groove (original line) or continue up the groove and traverse at the top.

crosses the bushy ledge to a layback start, tending right up the cleanest rock to a step left at a bolt.

follows a superb groove to the ledge and left up broken blocks. It can be descended in two rappels but probably safer to make three and avoid the swing under the waterfall.
