Oh it's LEFT of the climb. Ben mentioned that he'd read about it and couldn't find it. I didn't even know to look for it and certainly didn't see it when I climbed it just before him.

Could someone who has access to "thecrag" and climb.org.au, please add "left" to the description, "an anchor near 'Trident'" is a pretty poor description when someone as fastidious as Ben didn't find it. I think most people would also search between the climb and the tree.

Also please remove the extra 'd' from "removedd" (sic).
