Pete starting up Fire Water


Description 

On the far right side of the wall is a buttress around a corner with a good ledge. A few good moderate sport routes climb this small buttress. The lefthand of the two is a steep but juggy 5.7 with an overhang guarding the chains. Very good route.


Protection 

Draws. Rap hangers at the top.

This would be a great first lead for someone, a real confidence builder. The 5.7 rating seems a bit dubious, because the route is like climbing a ladder. Very straightforward, only one move at the finish would give a first time climber any trouble.

Is this a good climb for beginner Top ropers? if so how does a novice get to the top? Can you hike up the back? How tall is the wall?
