Starting up The Brightest Fire.

Description 

To date the easiest route at the Orifice Wall. The climbing is tricky and and has some crimps down low. The middle section is pumpy with a moderate last 15 feet. It might make a good warm up climb on a cloudy day or if you get there after 11 a.m.


Location 

Starts from the ledge that you traverse in on and is just right of Huck Finn.

is there a story behind the route's name?

Jon - After the route was equipped by others, I climbed it first. The day I climbed the route was the week of the 7th anniversary of the passing of my younger brother. The name is a small tribute to him.
