Approach
A. As for 'Hallucinogenic Wall' but keep walking another 300m until the path curves leftwards and by a cairn on the right from which a small path leads down toward to cliff top. You will arrive at the top of a buttress, from which you get a great view of 'Lotter's Desire', 'Snapdragon' and the others!
The path leads down on the left into the trees and along the base of the crags. Pass the 'Reunion Wall' and after a few minutes you will arrive at a clearing at the base of 'Snapdragon'.
B. The right hand side of the crag can also be accessed from the gully beyond right side of the crag. Approach as above but walk another 300m along the main cliff-top path, shortly after a long bend in the trail, cut down across the grass to the cliff edge; you can see a small square Mountain Club sign at the top of the gully. Descend the gully then keep right past some wet sections and you soon arrive at the climbs around 'Teen Spirit'.
