Description

Follows a crack on the right side of the wall.  It shares the first few moves with the route to its right (Burn, Baby, Burn), but it has its own protection bolts.  The first 4 of these are sustained steep pulling on sidepulls with a neat heel hook sequence.  This is probably around 12b.  You next follow the crack up to a small roof with good holds and numerous rests.  This is easy 5.11 climbing for 6 or 7 bolts.  There is a great rest at the roof.  Next comes the crux, pulling the small bulge and moving left to a slot.  Climbers with short arms may find the crux sequence very difficult as there are really no intermediate holds.  Finish up the beautiful headwall passing one more bolt to a two bolt anchor.

Location

Third route from the right on the Rising wall.  It follows a very obvious crack.

Protection

13 bolts
