A bouldery start leads past some slopers to a stance. Continue up the face past a small overhang, where the tree has fallen against the rock. 

  Yes, the tree is off-route. (Cheater!)

Although the climbing is mediocre, this is a rare type of route for Foster Falls, being quite hard but not steep. Unlike the 5.12 jug hauls out roofs in the bunkers, this one is almost vertical. The crux hits around halfway up requiring either a big dyno up and left or thin tweaking. Average sized folks aren't going to get fingers into the tweaky slots at the crux, so "Launch" for the arete.

A great choice for the first-time sport leader.  Follow the somewhat slabby face on good holds to the top.

Balancy moves lead up to the left of the starting bolts and the overhang. (Variaton: direct start through the overhang is 11a.) Consistently pumpy climbing continues up to the roof. Fight your way over the roof and up to a ledge with anchors.

Another excellent route for neophyte leaders, with a thin and reachy section down low that's a little harder than the grade.  Follow the face just left of an arete up to the top.

The Rocket Slab is home to Foster's easiest routes, where many new sport climbers get their first lead.  It also features a handful of much harder routes.
