Break Right

Some thoughtful slab climbing in lower half -- but the aid move over the break likely will feel rather awkward, because the overhang is so radical. . . . (on Top-Rope, perhaps could avoid this by starting from top, getting lowered into upper slab, climbing up that, then getting lowered to bottom, then climbing up the lower slab.

Before starting, hang a long etrier / aid ladder from the pine tree growing out of the rock just above the left side of the overhanging break mid-way up the slab. . . . (If possible perhaps better to place an etrier / aid ladder over the deep crack to the right where the overhang is less steep, using trad gear instead of the tree)

Start below the 6-ft-tall overhanging break mid-way up the slab, 1 ft right from above thick mature tree, and just left of groove at right side of lower slab. Up the slab to the obvious deep crack in the right side of the overhanging break. Use Aid to surmount the break, then up the right side of the slab above to finish just right of the right-hand of the two mature pine/cedar trees.

warning: The rock on and near this route has not been climbed much yet, and some of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber or someone setting up top anchor.

. . . (Lots of vegetation on this rock as of 2018. Be prepared when climbing to navigate around protruding trees and branches, and dealing with holds slippery with grass, lichen, moss, dirt).
