I broadly agree with Anton's post from 2023. Find the guidebook vague and not terribly helpful.
When you arrive at the start of Candlestick wall (you'll see a little plaque on the rock indicating you are in the correct place) you will then need to do an easy grade 5 climb. We treated this as pitch -1 as decided not worth the risk falling. I guess is about 20 metres up to a very good anchor.
After this traverse right without protection just using the fixed rope to an obvious anchor about 10 metres away to start pitch 0 which is an easy grade 5 out right.
Pitch 1 6a finishing at very obvious ledge on left.
Pitch 2 6b. I saw the anchor out left towards the top of this pitch and used it. Was awkward final move to it and realise in hindsight that it was the wrong anchor. Just stick with the obvious line and the anchor you want is exactly AT the opening of the vertical tunnel. This is a very enjoyable climb.
Pitch 3 5 / scramble up through vertical tunnel. If I did this climb again I would skip this final pitch. I don't feel it adds anything to the experience and certainly the views / exposure from top of pitch 2 are excellent. Also the anchors at top of pitch 3 are not brilliant. One ratty old anchor made from a bunch of slings around a rock. The other anchor which we used is hope through 3 hangers. Probably fine but I would have been happier seeing carabiners in the hangers - not sure why this one was made this way.
Back clip as you rappel back down pitch 2.
We started climbing 11am and were in shade the whole way.
