Follow the short vertical crack from the RH end of the big ledge at the RH end of the 'Hades' wall to a LW trending ramp (crux). Follow this to a vertical groove (excellent). If the tide is in you could abseil into the bottom of the groove and climb this at VS 5a ***
Note - a storm rolled a massive boulder under the start in recent years, making the start a bit easier, but also creating something to hit if you fall off the crux with more rope out than necessary.

βeta: Agree with the previous feedback - the start is hard and poorly protected and not reflective of the difficulty and gear of the rest of the route. More of a VS route with an E2 start. A few boulder pads would help the start. | ||

βeta: I don't think this should be graded E1. Hard starting moves with poor protection above a very bad landing. | βeta? | |
