This is the largest rock face on one of the islands in the North Banard Island group.
The route, Rock Trout (15) 25m, starts slight left of the cave, then moves left and up the face left of the cave (crux). From there a ledge is met, traverse to the right, and then climb up the choss to the top.

Trent climbing, one. I originally went to go up the cave. It was a little bit above my level. I climbed up to the left of where I am. Photo by Sam.
