βeta: From the second's point of view, probably better to run the final two pitches together (particularly if you keep all the gear for the last steep bit on one rope only), you will then be in a better position to safeguard your second on the crux traverse. Beware of rogue waves on the starting ledges! We abseiled in on a falling tide, with a heavy swell, to find them dry and seemingly benign, but were caught out by two unusually large waves.

βeta: Other groups seemed to be on the wrong line, walking the much easier right-hand edge where it's steppy. One leader even blocked others from ab'ing down by anchoring to the lowering block instead of building a belay on the route. We stayed well-in from the edge, followed the crack in the black streak and stayed inside the gently meandering white scoop as described and I think we had a better climb for it.
