Description
A hard and proud route. Climbs vertical 5.11, to easy and somewhat loose slab, to a proud, hard, exposed, continuous 5.12 crux that is essentially three boulder problems in a row with marginal rests to clip the bolts. Get ready for geometric climbing and compression on slopers and pinches with a few jugs and crimps thrown in as well. Finishes with a very exposed panel to the anchors hanging at the highest point on the wall. The rock in the crux is some of the better rock on a rather loose wall.
Tyler Hoffart on establishing this line:
"While I have love for all these routes, I left behind a true hard gem right up the middle of the Firewall, climbing a wildly exposed and DIFFICULT compressionish-arete to a super-airy and inspiring over-hanging face at the anchors. It’s one of the most exposed finishes I have ever experienced. I gave it a really good go the other day, but fell short. I put all the moves together but someone else will have to come take care of this thing unless I get back first! Looking to be a hard 12c, this route aims to please. I have dubbed it Firefly."
