Lovely climbing but needs a steady head. Left of the end of the slab with Stool Pigeon and left of the prominent tree is a small slab and groove. Climb up using holds on the slab and the left arete (avoid the crack on the right it is loose) to the apex of the groove. Rock is solid low down but gets looser at the top. Protection is good (but small) low down, higher up gear can be found but is questionable. Best to belay in the bay to the left of the slab - the tree is in direct line of any loose rock. It is possible to climb from the lake but this is not recommended as the rock below the terrace is now dangerously loose.
