Lower from the tree just down and right of Yosemite point viewing area. Use two 150’ ropes and join them making a 300' rap into the nick (cool bivi) make sure you can pass a knot on rap!! Tie the end of this 300' lie to you harness, you will need it later.
From the bolt belay at the edge make an exposed move left on out on the face. A1/10d climbing on scars leads to a 4" section and a ledge/bolt belay (room for 4)
Start left on the ledge following bolts and old tat/gear. Committing A2 hooking in full view of the waterfall leads to a bolt ladder (optional belay) and the tip of the spire (bolt belay) bad rope drag
Traverse is 140' to the tree for the tip; use the ropes form the rap for the traverse (attached to your harness yeah?!?!?!).
extend runners on P2 for less rope drag
this is not the place to learn to aid climb. be sure you can set up a tyrolean traverse
