Description

Wheels on Fire

is a continuously difficult climb with good gear and can be quite strenuous. Approach up the

Green A

gully, looking for the obvious thin crack on the right with a giant flake up high.

Start up a really slick section of scrambling to gain a higher ledge. Either approach the crack directly for a little more challenge, or traverse in from the left up higher. Jam and lieback up to the big flake (crux right below the flake). Hand traverse left, then fire up the really cool left-facing dihedral. Keep an eye to the right for the anchors, so as not to climb right past them!

Protection

Standard Rack. I placed gear ranging from tcu size up to a #3 camalot. Passive pro works really well too.
