Description

Start on a chunky slab with a thin finger crack to the left and protruding feet in the middle.Then work up a few sandy and slightly insecure steps to a small two person cave. Take a deep breath, pull  the small roof, and head straight up a beautiful  30ft crack  situated in the dihedral using solid hand jams and smears until the rock slopes away at the top. Anchors are easiest to clip at waist height found to the climbers right.

Location

Through the Truffula Trees is situated on the same side of the canyon as Ultimate Off Width, Ultimate Dihedral, and Teddy Bear Picnic (south wall). From Teddy Bear Picnic walk down the canyon (approx. 10-15min) along the center of the canyon on the south side staying along the slot canyon edge until sighting a downed tree spanning the dead center of the slot canyon. Just before this on the left is a pine tree with a small rock pile at the base (fig.a). Climb the steep steps to the left of the tree and at the top hang a right under a downed tree covered by a curtain of leaves. The climb is up the hill, to the left, through the trees at the top of a set of sandy switchbacks that emerge 10 ft left of the start.
