Forester

This route was scoped out a couple of years ago and I never got around to equipping it.  I finally got out to finish it.  I named it "Forester" in honor of my late friend Jimmy Forester. 

  The Forester starts just right of Little Monster (the obvious small crack)  

  Climb up through the broken ledge to the overhang.  The first bolt is actually really easy to reach despite its high appearance. (this was done intentionally to try and prevent hitting the ledge while clipping the second bolt.  Climb up and right of the first bolt on small crimps (sequency crux).   The climbing is pretty sustained but eases off towards the top.  After the last bolt, trend right to a shared anchor with Stray Dog.   

  I called it 11a, but would be curious to see what others think.

From the guidebook: 

  Climb a lane (closer to Twin Oaks) in between the two bolted lines... a somewhat easier version of it's "twin" to the left.  Cool hole features.

From the guidebook:   Climb crack/seam right of tree

From the guidebook: 

  Climb the gray face with white splotches.  Long move to match, hard crank getting established on headwall.  Climb to tree-hole, then traverse right to belay.  Cool features.

From the guidebook: 

  Climb ground-level hang to bulge to face.  Small, but good edges... sustained for the rating.

Start on the two jugs located on the overhang directly below the oaks that give the route it's name.  The first move is stout for the grade due to a big reach, but a properly placed left foot should make it much easier.  Once established on the wall, follow the crimps to the chains.  The route can also be started with via an easier variation traversing in from the left.

Climb some steep stuff to the obvious jug above the hang (2nd bolt.)  There are variant paths to said jug; most opt to move right, then back left. Others reach long directly.  Tend right on improved features that may still feel a bit pumpy... until you can get your feet... then climb back left on even more improved holds, and the anchor... great stuff.

From the guidebook: 

  Climb face left of seam crack.  Clump holds, and side pulls.

From the guidebook:  

  This sector includes the next series of walls occurring downstream (right) of the Corner Walls.  Sub-walls are Left wall, Main Wall, Right Wall
