Description Suggest change

A climb with tons of options! There is a left/right variation to the first anchor as well as a hard option to continue to an upper anchor. A real "choose your own adventure" that epitomizes the development philosophy inherent to the re-vitalization of this section of the Wall of Shadows.

Left Variation:

Work a slabby face until you get to a wide open chimney/crack. Utilize this up until the roof and then move right through the large hanging block

Right Variation - Direct Start:

Use the right finger/hand crack on the huge flake. A huge, off-width flare forces a burly move up to a short slab with awkward moves to get past it

Upper Section:

After you pass the mid-way anchor, wriggle into a corner with a narrow finger crack while smearing the face. You reach a bulge (crux) that you must get around to reach an easier ramp with good holds up until the anchor

Location Suggest change

From 92nd and Skidmore take the trail up to the rock face. Look for the prominent smattering of graffiti and a 3' wide/tall cave. This is the start of Footloose. Go down the trail, looking left, until you see the giant tree root ball on the ground. This is the start of Touch and Go. Make your way 15 feet further right to the fallen boulders at the base for the start of Thirst for Fire

Protection Suggest change

Bolted anchors. Upper anchors have mussy hooks
