Description
A long, mostly not-quite-vertical route on pockets and jugs, with two small roofs to pull through.
The rock is mostly solid, although there are hollow-sounding areas throughout most of the route. The psychological crux is the first, slightly intimidating roof (and that's probably the technical crux as well).
All in all, a fun climb, and long for a single-pitch sport route.
Take care while lowering or rappelling as a 60m rope is just barely long enough (with no stretch).
Location
Continue past the south face of
Hard Rock
for a couple of hundred feet.
Winds of Fire
is on a columnar-looking prow topped by a pointed roof.
Protection
10 bolts to double ring rap anchors with quicklinks. Actually, there are two sets of anchors: the rap anchors mentioned and some older chains above those.
