Description 

Firearms shares its first clip with Primer, but that is just about all they share. Climbing begins at the shared bolt 40 ft right of the overhang. Power up immediately on steep moves for three clips. My notes indicate that climbing eases back to pretty much a jug haul on vertical terrain. However, the climb offers little good rest and kicks up a good flash pump with very continuous 5.11 climbing. Definitely a worthy addition.


Protection 

Ten draws and a rope.

this route is also chipped. at about the third bolt, those perfect incut finger length crimps for each hand are not natural. just thought i would let you know.

While it has been a while since I have been on this route, I don't recall, and my notes don't indicate, any chipping. It was very likely that I overlooked this at the time. Before we bump Firearms over to the Black List, can we get someone else to confirm? (Matt?)

come on Joe,,just because you have never sent the route doesn't mean you can say its chipped. there is no way this route is chipped, no way.
