Firewalking anyone? click here This is from the last page of a 1990 Rock & Ice Magazine. The photo was taken in 1985. This article was heavily edited from the origional manuscript - the title is not even mine! Rock & Ice management has since changed. The Cover resembles the last page....what a hot issue. I only know of one climb that someone named after firewalking. It's up at the Squamish climbing area in Canada. It's a face climb called Firewalk, rated 5.10 back in the 80s. It had some l o n g runouts - I don't know if it still has though.

Find a firewalk near you, Firewalking.com There are so many opinions about firewalking that it is best to say nothing here except; 'just do it' and find your own way.
