A shot of the finishing dihedral, I stayed left of this on easier terrain but the route should go through the bush in the dihedral I think
Approaching the "Fool's Rush" dihedral from "From Bad Traverse." Set up a belay at the tree about 20 above the climber. From here, it is 2 awesome pitches, then you join the last pitch of "White Maiden." Avoids the crowds on The Maiden approach to this climb.

Looking up from the ledge-y area above the first large roof. Head up towards the second roof passing it on the left. Either stay left on the face, easier, or get back into the dihedral and head more or less straight up.
Looking up from the ground. Follow the right facing dihedral past a small ledge to a huge ledge above it beneath the roof and chimney.
