Vertigo: For first timers the access may be slightly confusing. The topos are good to give you the 'big picture' but it's a bit different up close and personal. I think the approach track is BEHIND the detached pillar (far LHS bottom topo) then a bit of scrambling up a gully. The access then cuts along the side of the hill (don't go too high) and then up a V gully towards the face. Vertigo starts down and left of the approach gully and you'll be rapping down the chimney up right from the access. The start is marked with a V. My advice would be to mostly follow the corner system until you get to the traverse ledge. From there there are a number of options. Take the line of least resistance. You can (almost) climb the route in two pitches. Don't forget to sling the summit log book container for your top belay! (Only joking) Allow 1/2 a day
