The Base of Atomic FireBall


Description 

A great sport route. The crux is the roof after the second bolt. After pulling the roof, there are good handles for your right hand (look for them they are great). The climb eases up after the crux. There is a Run up between the 4th and 5th bolt, but is easy climbing. Enjoy! Just Have Fun!


Location 

To the right of Kit Kat and to the left of Now and Later.


Protection 

7 bolts and chain anchor. A 60 meter rope is good. It is a new route so I highly recommend the belayer and the climber to wear a helmet. There might still be some loose rocks.

The route really isn't sustained. It has a super hard (5.10+) move at the second bolt but the rest of the route is only 5.8. If you can get past the second bolt though the upper part is really fun.

The jog that you pull off was it a key hole to pull off the crux?

Did a fun variation. Climb Kit Kat. After clipping the 4th bolt continue up the ramp. Finish on Fireball. The final roof just below the anchors is the funnest part of the climb. Makes a fun sustained 5.8 variation to the routes.
