Description

In the cave on the right hand side of the small corridor lies the Wookie! Start in the crack at the back of the cave. Traverse leftward across the left overhanging face. Work your way through a heinous gaston and then out to the lip. Round the lip and make your way up the slab.

Location

As with Witch Hazel, The Wookie is in the little corridor behind Hematoma. Find the Hematoma boulder from the main trail (its smack on it!) and walk around the leftside of the boulder to access the back. Walk into the narrow little corridor. The Wookie is in the small cave on your left. Witch Hazel is in the small cave on your right.

Protection

2-3 pads.

Because you traverse the left overhanging face for a bit, you'll need 1-2 pads for this stretch and maybe another near the start of near the end for good measure. Its a bit cramped in the little corridor, but the landing directly underneath the crux traverse section is flat and can be easily padded.
