This is the steep and stout crack on P.2 of Rainbow Buttress. It will give you a taste of things to come! Good jams and wide stems! We belayed using the crack with the bush in it in the lower part of the photo, which allowed Sara to keep some of the bigger cams for later.

Pitch 3 starts with a short offwidth slot, then moves right on the varnished face.

The obligatory feet shot. Top of the 5th pitch of Rainbow Buttress. Yeah, it's a long way down...

The chicken lips descent. From the top of Rainbow Buttress head up and East for a few hundred yards. Go down the gully just left of the climber with the two large pines in it. Two single rope rappels (60m rope required)brings you to the top of Black Orpheus.
