Ledge was still missing a bolt in March 2014, but you can extend your anchor to the first bolt of the next pitch. Sorry bout the ugly mug, it's the only shot I have of the anchor.

[2021] Top of P7. We used the new rap anchors near the lip/wall to descend to the bowl. Once in the bowl, we scrambled down to the water streak's furthest rap anchor. Four clean raps took us to the ground.

Route finding photo taken from halfway on the Oak Creek trail which we used to hike in. Pic shows Unimpeachable Groping route on Rainbow Mountain.

View of the Power Failure rap stations. We saw two potential rap stations you could use. Notice all the loose rock up here. Be super careful not to knock rock down. The correct station to use is the one in the top of this pic. It's more direct.

Great climbing on the fifth pitch where the rock becomes more varnished and, thus, more featured and easy.

Our parties meeting at P1 anchors in cooold conditions.

View of the trail up to the base of the climb. There's lot of scrambling till you hit the base where the tree is. Follow the trail markers closely. Especially on the way down if you descend at night or else you'll be bush whacking.

This is the roof pitch. This is what the anchor looked like a few years ago. I hope its been fixed!

Wandering up the second pitch

The anchor at the base of pitch 4 (roof pitch) has been fixed. So don't worry about the old photos with a one bolt anchor.

This is the trail we took from the Oak Creek Trailhead. We used Gaia GPS Maps and it was very useful navigating back at night.

From the top of P7 you do a small rap to the rap sling station. Some people say they scramble down this 10 ft or so but that seems sketch.

That's the start tree. Love the tree, be the tree, sling the tree.

View of the buttress from the approach. We're up there on P3/P4.

View of P7 taken from the top of P6 ledge. Easy 5.8 climbing but runout.

Butt shot view of the roof. Ridiculously fun and not too strenuous.

The roof at the start of P4 is amazing! Great holds the whole way up.

View of my partner rappelling down to the notch from the rap sling station. Look down while you rappel and make sure your rope doesn't get locked into any cracks.

Pic of my buddy reaching the P6 anchor which shares a nice belay ledge (and awesome view) with Ginger Cracks.

View of the notch once I rappelled into it. It's actually quite roomy.

View of the Notch which you'll rappel into from the rap sling right behind me in this pic.

Pic of the rap sling station you use to rap down to the notch where Power Line is.

Looking up at P5 from the hanging belay.

View from the top of P7 is spectacular. Enjoy it!
