Looking up the route. This is a good chance to pick out the way to go and the various bands that present themselves.

The turn off. The trail is far from obvious, but it is just before the big sandy cliffs, so backtrack about 100 meters and you should find the trail with some care.

There is a lot of loose rock here. Triple check your placements, always in direction of pull. If you're new to limestone, use protection and be cautious.

Climbing on the ridge mostly involves awkward steps, which is much more challenging than climbing.
