The 8th Rule

FA Erich Ellis

UPDATED 

Description

This excellent route is the left of the two extensions to Firestarter. Climb that route (also excellent in itself) and continue up and left on pumpy moves through a steep bulge/small roof feature. Establish above the roof via a thin and powerful boulder problem and make some more cruxy moves on thin holds in and around the groove to better holds. Continue via pumpy but easier climbing to the anchor. A standout climb and an area classic.

Location

The route departs from the top of Firestarter and heads left and over a roof into a vague groove or dihedral feature.

Protection

Bolts. Firestarter is fixed, but you may need 6 or 7 quickdraws for the 8th Rule extension.
