Description:

Bolted face to the right of Maxines wall. The top of the first pitch shares the anchor with Maxines wall but heads out left up the striking shear slab. Thin sustained edging on dime edges the whole way with just enough space between bolts to keep the adrenaline going. Some gear's much appreciated toward the top of the pitch. A Yellow C3 or Alien will do the trick. Bolted anchors.

Descent Options:

Rap the route.

3 out of 5 stars Crispy

A little flakey but not too bad. Make sure to bring some finger sized pro for the top of the second pitch, you'll be glad you did. A little chossy up high on the second pitch but much easier climbing to the two bolt anchors. Probably best to do the first pitch of Maxines and then second pitch of Firefingers for the best option.

Get on it!
