Description
Gemini Dragonfire climbs through the heart of the waterfall. Moderate climbing leads to a boulder problem over a bulge (this part is kindof hard and scary). Above this bulge, slabby to vertical climbing leads up a left-slanting crack. A short step right gains the seam. Small and positive edges lead to the technical crux Engaging and pumpy climbing leads to a good stance below the roof, where the climb exits left on small crimps and pockets.
As with many routes at the waterfall, the route is close to the others next to it. This is the blessing and curse of a stacked crag with cracks every 6 feet! The FA was done purposefully avoiding other routes and climbing the independent system. Yes it's dangerous and would be a bad idea to fall there. That's the independent line, but it is possible to do a safer start on another route and traverse in. I'm sure it does not change the grade but makes it a safer alternative to the original route.
