Description 

Located on the north side of Lumpe Tower is a steep, hidden wall with several worthwhile routes, and it is described in Rossiter's Eldo guide on p.338. Not to be confused with one of the quality routes on the wall, Cinders And Saints lies 10 feet left of Fanning the Flame, or about 25 feet left of Burning Desire. It is the left-most route on the cliff. Begin in a small right-facing corner with a crack, left of a pine tree. Climb the overhanging corner on jug pockets for at least five feet of flaky fun, then grovel upward finishing in a lichenous crack and groove.

To descend, walk off left.
