Description Suggest change

Flaming Tips is located on the south face, far climber's left along the same level as the Upper Tier.

This is an interesting climb with surprisingly good friction. The name says it all -- be sure to save some fingertip skin before hopping on this one.

Clip the first bolt using a stem or two on the right wall. Step left, and climb the water streaked face (the crux, probably mid-11) to a ledge. Slab your way up past 3 more bolts to another ledge and a steepening wall above. Continue up the steep "slab" on ridiculously frictiony holds to a crescendo move (10+/11-) at the top. Belay or lower from 2-bolt anchor.

Note: there is a hollow patina at the last crux that may break. However, if it does it will likely leave an even better hold -- so crank away! 

Location Suggest change

It is located on the south face, basically far climber's left at the same level as the Upper Tier. 

The easiest way to get here is to rap in from the very top of the wall. It can also be accessed from the main area by walking climber's left along the Upper Tier, through the short cave like formations and across the 3rd Class slab. Then walk a minute over to the left side of the south face. The route will be obvious.

Protection Suggest change

~ 11 bolts.
