Description

The opening stems are technical, but the route eases at the bolt. Move slightly left here and continue up the dihedral on easier, more featured rock. As the wall steepens, the real difficulties begin. Persevere up the steepening wall--feeling the burn--and power through a couple roofs. The climbing is sustained to the top. There is no fixed anchor on this route.

Back in the bad ole days of toxic masculinity, this route was once described as "manly." Take that however it resonates, but if Pleasure Burn were at T-Wall, it would be a mega-classic.

Location

If you approach the wall from Ride the Pony, walk the cliff line downstream approximately 500+' to a noticeably clean section of steep, solid rock. Look for the obvious dihedral. If you approach from the Wells-Stracker compound, walk the cliff line upstream from Corner Bar for approximately 500+'. Look for the obvious dihedral.
