Proposed Route:

Climb the first three bolts of Choose Life then, instead of going left, continue straight up the bulging rock above along tufa-like features, aiming for a "heart" hueco at midheight where you can rest. Multiple bouldery cruxes define the line, which steps right when the tufa ends to a scooped ramp then comes back left to finish on diagonal pods up the headwall.
