Route is easy to find, once you locate the first bolt. After that follow the bolts which eventually lead to a tree which is the final belay station.

[Hide Comment] First 'pitch' was basically a solo, there's no gear or bolts, but it's low angled scrambling and good rock quality for the most part. After that, it's a solid route, bolts-a-plenty and some comfortable belay stations. Easy rap and scramble down! Jan 12, 2022
