Climbs are listed here from left to right.
A new approach opened up following the 2022 winter storms. From the parking area with the big boulders walk up the road about 10 metres. You'll see a cairn leading uphill into the bush. Take this path; almost immediately you'll find a big gully that heads directly up. Follow this until the base of the cliff (2-3 minutes). At the base of the cliff you'll find a big tree on your right with a fixed rope to take you up the last few loose steps.
From this point, just head right along the cliff-line. You'll reach the first climb, Holy, Holy, Holy, with its distinctive hueco pocket features, within about 30 seconds. Another 2 minutes will get you to Drop Zone and American Woman (the chimney)
Alternatively, if you really want to use the old approach it's mostly still there, though the start is buried in the rubble of the storms. From the parking area, walk up the highway for 50m or so before picking up a taped footpad which heads up the hill. The pad reaches the cliff at the base of the American Woman chimney, which is a useful reference.
Please NO climbing after significant rain. Climbing on wet or damp sandstone can wear away at the soft rock and cause holds to break.
