[Hide Comment] Follow the crack to start and then angle left under the roof. Cool finger crack to the upper dihedral. You can belay from the top and then walk left (if facing the climb) from there to rap off the chains for "Fire in the Sky". Jul 1, 2010

[Hide Comment] This was an enjoyable climb. It had a nice mix of variety and was different then most climbs in the area. The roof was pretty straightforward. The hardest part was the final 20 feet. If you have hexes I would bring them along. This climb takes hexes really well (I used all of mine, 6, including 2 for the anchor). Oct 15, 2013

[Hide Comment] Super nice climb worth doing. You can place a number 3 on top of the dihedral for a directional and then use the thread the needle anchors May 9, 2024
