Fire in the Kitchen

FA: Gene Kistler, Doug Houghton 1994

Description

Half gear and half bolts. The first half of the route is all gear and climbs a small corner and flake to an overhang. Second half of the route is fully bolted. Pull the overhang and begin a traverse right on good holds to a final roof. Pull that roof and clip the anchors. An amazing route and well worth it despite the long hike.

Location

Middle of the wall at the Fire in the Kitchen area. Starts on a right facing blocky corner feature. 

Protection

Single rack of cams, a few nuts, and long runners. 5 bolts, bolt anchors
