The first pitch is shared by Tres Viejos. This route heads straight up at the end of the first pitch until a horizontal crack can bypass the overhang. Traversing along the second pitch on trees seemed like the crux. I'd like to finish the route straight up but it needs bolts.

Ride The Lichen

Tres Viejos

At the tallest part of cliff a lone large boulder sits atop the second pitch. Pitch 1 starts on the right facing dihedral capped by a roof (go right); gear belay (5.8, 100'). Pitch 2 gain the small roof and make tricky moves to get above this, take the cracks straight up to another slight overhang and finish below the big boulder (5.10+, 100'). Pitch 3 wanders straight back to the wall to an obvious broken dihedral (5.9, 100'); go left 10' near top to large pine with sling.

Shady north-facing wall about 300' tall, usually windy in the canyon floor. Water continuously serenades one. 

  Lonely place with only two known routes. Bolts scattered about suggest some other explorers but no other routes seem completed.
