Fire Walker cuts a sharp, demanding line along the niche corner wedged between the imposing faces of Burning Man and Incinerator Wall. From the very first move, you’re on alert—starting atop scattered blocks, quickly clipping the initial bolt that guides you into a tightening sequence. The second bolt guards the climb’s crux, a move that challenges both balance and power as you navigate the steeper section. Once past this tension point, the route opens to a widening corner accompanied by a bulge that tests your technique again, but this time offers some relief with a hidden crack perfect for a small cam placement. As you haul upwards above the bulge, the climbing eases, with smoother jugs and holds guiding you past another bolt and toward a finish marked by a finger crack that rewards steady footwork and finger strength. The rock here is typical of the San Bernardino Mountains—solid, textured, and warm under the California sun. Once your partner tops out, the descent is a straightforward walk-off heading south, dropping back through the gully that separates Incinerator Wall from the west slope of Motherlode Rock—a path marked by loose scree and shaded by rugged bushes. This short, single-pitch route measures about 50 feet but packs varied challenges and technical interest, demanding a well-rounded trad skill set and careful gear management. Plan your climb to avoid mid-day heat, carry cams from small to medium (.75 to 3 inches), and expect rocky terrain on the approach and exit trails. Fire Walker is a compelling choice for climbers seeking a steep, punchy pitch that balances protection bolts with thoughtful traditional placements in a remote, rugged corner of Big Bear’s climbing landscape.
