UPDATED ROUTE DESCRIPTION:
This route starts at the cracks at the water's edge at the very start of the traverse to the Red Lead etc. Climb into the obvious leaning narrow groove with a crack at the back, and follow the crack up to its end. A move out onto the face leads up small boulder and grassy gully. At the tope move uop parallel cracks on the right. From the platform either traverse left to the top of Demons (rope drag unless climed with two ropes) or select one of the character-buildng oop-outs through the brambles.

βeta: The current guide gives this HS 4c. It isnt that, VS-HVS seems about right. The description in the guide is also odd because it implies at the top movig into the top crack of Demon's, but the logical route is up parallel cracks on the right at the end of the grassy gully. | βeta? | |
