Overhanging traverse and mantle the oven-sized block for fun. Now use good fingerjams and laybacking to get into the shallow chimney. At top of the chimney, DO NOT TOUCH THE LOOSE BLOCK ON YOUR LEFT - IT LITERALLY SLIDES.

Belay in crack above; BD 0.5, 0.75, tree sling.

To prevent stuck ropes and tricky abseils, scramble further up the bushy gully, get on top of the climber's RHS wall, and abseil off good blocks directly onto the lower slab.
