Superb climbing which is well worth the approach. To get there, locate a nut belay about 10m right (looking out) of the bolts on the terrace above the crag. Abseil from here to small corner/cave which is about 10m left of Psychic Threshold.
35m. From the cave, move right to an arete (thread). Pull over the bulge on good holds to a bolt (the belay of Telegraph Road). Climb the wall above, first on the left then back right past 3 threads in a vague groove. Scramble off leftwards then back right to the abseil point.

Superb although rock not perfect by the old bolt. Clip the threads or keep swinging when you ab. I didn't and couldn't get into the stance. Had to go right down, walk round and start again.
