Access Issue: Keeping climbs open depends on maintaining good relationships with locals and monks Details

This climbing area is intertwined with monasteries and pagodas. It is critical for climbing in Myanmar to maintain these relationships through respectful conduct with the monks and the surrounding areas. Please be modest, respectful, friendly, and responsive to the wishes of the monks and local people. Do not climb on religious monuments, and remove shoes when crossing over established pagoda areas.

Description

The route starts on bullet stone; climb through hard face moves until you get to a short arete. Transition to slabby, wandering, and looser climbing (5.10ish) until you arrive at the anchors high up on the wall.

Location

The fourth route from the left side of the wall. Number 4 in on the Fire Wall topo photo.

Protection

Bolts and carabiners at the anchor.

Seriously loved the beginning of this route. Probably my favorite on this wall. After you're through the crux, it changes to easier climbing on pretty sketchy rock. I broke off a few holds and feet while I was climbing it. Even though the 2nd half of the route isn't cleaned up too well yet, it's kinda' fun to work your butt off on solid difficult climbing in the beginning, and then get the poop scared out of you on easier climbing for the 2nd half. :) Don't forget your helmet!
