Description
Flamin' Freddie is on the west side of Challenge Buttress so it gets good shade in the morning/early afternoon.
Climb up the steep opening, traversing slightly left to more dihedral climbing. Follow this up to easier ground (passing an anchor on the right). Continue up the steep face with big jugs for an exciting finish. Pro is more difficult to find in the upper parts, but opportunities are available.

Protection
Standard Rack. This route takes small to medium gear, nothing big is necessary. Two bolt anchor.
Location
To locate the line, first find Hollow Man (5.9, bolts up vertical face). Then, just left is a bolted route that pulls through a big roof. Start below this in a left-facing dihedral.
