Also, there are windows not far away, so I'm thinking I can cover it with a tarp to keep shards from flying. If I go the jackhammer route, I'd have to consider protection for nearby objects.

A picture of you trying to break that rock would be hilarious...would you consider wearing a striped outfit as well?
Seriously though, you must have a drill? Buy a couple of masonry bits and a rock splitting kit (google "rock splitting tools") and make the job fun!
I ordered a set of these and split a rock that jutted out of my large rock wall so my tractor could pass between it and the garage. Makes you feel like one of those old timers working the quarries with hand tools...
