The Burgermeister

5.13c, Trad, 100 ft (30 m),  Avg: 3 from 1 vote
FA: Unema
Arizona > Northern Arizona > Oak Creek Canyon > Waterfall > 3. The Right Wall

Description

A climb in three parts:
Part 1: a three-bolt boulder problem out a steep prow.

Part 2: a 6 bolt slab/arete with technical climbing on alligator rock.

Part 3: A thin and steep crack with a few good pockets nearby. Climbs close to the finish of the harder they come, but stays a distinct line if you protect the obvious left splitter crack. The FA used the left splitter crack and middle seam but did not traverse out to the splitter fingers of The Harder They Come. Doing so would make it easier.

Shares a 2-bolt anchor with The Harder They Come

Location

Starts below the hanging prow 10 feet left of the start of The Harder they Come

Protection

Quickdraws, a couple RP's and cams from 000 to 0.4
