Approach

Park in front of Miradouro Restaurant. Walk along the road northwards. Turn left at the second kin onto a single track path through the bushes. The single track continues northwards and at 50m, it will turn left towards the cliff edge. The chiff edge will have a gulley which one can descend. There are two options to descend, either through the gulley and tunnel traverse or abseiling down the bolted anchor.

Descent

YouTuber's, GrizzyNbear Overland, made a video of bolting the route, Vegemite Toasty, as well as finding an game-changing descent through a gulley. The decent is shown twice in the video at 11 minutes and 25 minutes. The video's link is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kQFOxYDNZI&t=5s.

The descent has three fixed ropes. The static ropes are very thick which means that it is tricky abseiling down or climbing back up with the rope being in a Grigri. A prusik is an easier method for climbing up the thick rope as you can slide it up the rope easily. The first static rope starts at the top of the gully and lowers one down to the gulley floor. Walk to the opening of the gulley to get to the second fixed rope. The second abseil will lower to the start of tunnel traverse. Walk along to the other side of the tunnel to find the third fixed rope. This fixed rope is used to help scramble down to the base of the crag.

The other descent option is to abseil down the anchor to the base of the crag. A 80m rope is needed for this abseil. The anchor can be found on the cliff face from the first fixed gulley rope.
