Rap off the rings as for the Totem pole, jump in and swim right to an easy ledge just behind the Totem pole.
30m Up chimney / crack
30m More chimney / crack, ending on a good ledge with 2 rings to tyrolean back to the mainland roughly level with the top of the tote.
30m through chimney past big chockstone (on descent it's easy to get your rope stuck on this), then up through looser rock into the sunshine to a rusty anchor.
20m Up sunny face veering a little left at the top to another rusty anchor then scramble to the real summit.
This is the chossiest route to the summit of the candlestick. Although it's the easiest, expect very poor rock and gear the whole way (last pitch excepted)
60m Fixed line rap off the rings as for the Totem pole, jump in and swim left not right to ledge with U bolts 2m above water. Drag traverse rope across 15m gap and setup tyrolean or swim.
Note 60m fixed line will initially require 10m extension with tag line to span diagonally when being dragged up from start of first pitch.
Loose rock is a possibility on all pitches, hauling of spare ropes and packs is recommended.
(18) 30m Steely up corner crack which thins to fingers. Traverse right under roof and out onto finger flakes on face then up and traverse back left to sloping belay ledge with fixed wire. Good sustained pitch.
(17) 30m Up corner crack with bridging and hand jamming of various widths. Continue to loose vegetated belay ledge at top with slings around boulder. Good pitch with some small rest ledges.
(15) 25m Up wide crack and through awkward chimney sqeeze being careful not to dislodge loose rock. If climbing in single pair then leader will need to trail tyrolean rope up through chimney and flick around arête with help of second otherwise it will get stuck on arête. Continue up cracks and onto belay ledge being mindful of loose rock when choosing anchor pro.
(15) 20m Up sunny face veering a little left at the top to another rusty anchor then scramble to the real summit.
