As you see 1st bolt, start from the right site, follow nice holds and couple of bolts until hard slabby move, clip the bolt and climb straight up. Alternative move is : clip bolt, traverse 1,5m right and climb up (16).

From the ledge climb left then right passing 2 bolts (vegetated and dirty start), but as you go higher it gets better until the crux move. (try to find a razor blade hold) and pull hard. The other half of the pitch is a nice climbing via hidden pockets to the ledge (Rock Wren pool)
