Description 

Roof Burner is a great route for the grade at the bluff. Not very technical but quite sustained and pumpy. Climb up the slab to the right and traverse left to the first bolt. From there move left through the first roof. Climb up and a bit right on increasingly pumpy holds. At the second roof, traverse right across it's lower lip to a bolt above. Pull the second roof and straight to the chains from there. There aren't really any good rests on this route. A large spray painted area is at the base of this climb. Just around the corner from the "Winter Wall" easily recognized by the two roofs next to a left facing corner.


Protection 

bolts, bring a shoulder sling for the first bolt

The wandering nature of this climb makes it long and pumpy. Bring a long sling for the bolt under the roof to reduce drag.

The easiest roofy route at Red Wing, and one of the best routes. The character changes a couple of times, and the rock is good.
