Approach

Follow approach till you get to Pink Floyd Sector. Continue up and on your left there is a boulder with staples and a rope - climb up the rope. Be cautious of loose rock on the way up and down, it is steep and stepping on a loose rock will lead to a very exciting slide. Continue up, you will see a flat area on your left, Basecamp, which is a great spot to stash ropes and set up for the day.
