New route a bit further along from the slab, climbed with trad rack. No reasonably safe rappel points, so being comfortable down climbing is key. Rock isn't of greatest quality so just check where your placing limbs.

To start scramble up the 20 meters off the beach and find a 2 bolt anchor at the base of the climb, use this to belay and then climb up and left for a bit before moving right around the crux of the climb. The crux is a near vertical pinnacle that you can climb up the side of and then stand on top. The top of the climb is another 10 meters from here. Possible scope to continue further up from here to the top.
