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.
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?)
To the best of my knowledge this route isn't chipped. I think the holds you're thinking about might be where a block or something was cleaned off, but again, it's been a year or two since I've been on this route. None of the other routes put up by this party were chipped, which may or may not mean anything.
