Description

Shares the first 2.5 pitches of Truffula Tree, then traverses into a steep and excellent splitter crack which is not to be missed

p1 (Jumanji) - 5.5, 15m:
Climb the stack of blocks to a tree ledge

p2 - 5.10, 33m:
Climb the corner past a bolted anchor. Stay in the corner, or climb the slab past a bolt to avoid some loose blocks. Finish with a fun overhang.

p3 - 5.9, 15m:
Climb the corner to a blocky ledge. Instead of continuing up the corner, traverse right VERY CAREFULLY across the top of the blocks. Set a gear anchor at the base of an overhanging crack. The gear anchor takes 3-5 inch gear

p4 - 5.11+, 15m:
Climb the rad overhanging crack to a bolted anchor.
If the second is toproping, I would not recommend belaying from the top.

Descent: 3 lowers/rappels with a single 60m rope.
To descend the last pitch, you'll need a strategy to avoid swinging into space or into the slab. Be careful of loose blocks here.

Location

Near the far left end of primitive buttress North
From Boving Reflection (the leftmost climb), traverse the cliff to the right and up a hill a bit until you find a stack of big blocks in a left-facing corner (just right of a short but nice-looking handcrack corner)
