Durf grunting and swearing up the firestarter. Ada...
Description
The crux is the bottom 15 feet. Above this, there are enough "milker" holds to keep it mellow. If these holds weren't there, the route would be hard 5.10 The bottom looks easy, but is quite surprising. Lower off slings around a tree.
Location
This is the furthest right of the Burner offwidths.

thanks T.A. for the posted info and great picks A.C.
i've been spying those morsels for awhile...thought we could pull it off quickly tonight and got up there at about 4:15 thinking we could TR both lines... boy, we were wrong... we didn't epic, but Firestarter sure was a grunt, even on TR... it just is...a grunt. I really enjoyed it and can't wait to go back for the Burner and even the other left lines...we approached from the left (instead of from Bong Eater) so we got to check them out; sweet sweet looking chimney... and the other 10d looks pretty good too!
burner looks great! firestarter was great (but one of the harder .9's, I mean 9+'s :) I really want to spray the beta on how we finally got the move off the deck but...that wouldn't be much fun...firestarter was pretty fun

oh yeah...
the firestarter we did was only about 70-80ft. not 100.
What a sweet route! Finally got to use that #6. Can get hexes in the crack above the tree at the top. Bottom is a thinker... I agree with Glen, the route is not 100 ft, more like 80. Not a 9+ though. Once the beta is known it is a cruiser (in off-width terms).
