Description
Burning Point is the logical, lefthand finish to Be the Burn that climbs the sweeping, steep headwall and has retroactively become the top half of Control Burn. So visually, it now appears as a linkup. This deceptively pumpy route is sure to heat up your forearms and get your heart thumping. I couldn’t call it a jug haul, but there are a lot of generous holds. For the grade, it stands out as one of the better routes in Flag.At the end of the steep, scoopy dihedral of Be the Burn, move sharp left past a little boulder problem involving shallow pockets out left and a slanting rail crimp. This problem leads you to a slippery jug just over the bulge and awesome positioning. Continue up past some pockets out left and big moves over the small roof. A very good shake after the roof will hopefully let you get something back before the little redpoint crux which guards the anchor.
Location
Breaks off left of Be The Burn at the very top of the dihedral.
