19,18,19,18. 170m. Great climbing in a fabulous position. Has had rave
reviews by repeat ascensionists, according to the first ascensionists. Many
bolts + some trad. Bring a small supplementary single rack. 2 x 50m ropes
required.
If accessed from below, from the rock apron scramble to the solar panel, down
and across to the exposed arete. Scramble up arete and find track through
scrub. The hotel-sized rock is passed via fixed ropes on the right. The
track continues to bolts marking the start of the route.
If accessed from above, the top abseil rings can be found at the highest
point of the wall. YELLOW line on topo photo

Rad climb. You definitely don't need much of a rack. I seem to remember the pitches being more like 19/17/19/18 though?
Also there is a bolt on the seal platform if you need to tie up a kayak or boat.
