This is the secondary belay ledge with bigger trees atop P1 - as noted, a more spacious belay, but slightly off route (Thumb in background).
About halfway up P1 of the West Ridge. Escaping this small roof to the right felt like the crux to me.

Beware this large freestanding flake! It's located slightly below, and between, the two optional tree anchors atop P1 - and it can be safely bypassed to the right.
