Description 

Raindance is located to the left of the main Davidson Wall, in some trees across from Pillow Wall. It's left of a black-looking roof (Loose Roof) on golden rock. Climb the face above (pro in discontinuous cracks) to gain crack. Continue in crack to top. Demanding lead, but great route!


Protection 

Nuts (bring small!), assortment of cams from small (#0 TCU) up to #1 Camalot size.

fwiw- i did not believe that this route can be considered PG13- it ate pro like a fat man eating chocolate.....i put in plenty of gear through the cruxes and never felt like i was running it out....

I really really enjoyed leading this route. Fun climbing and great pro. This was some nice face climbing to mix up a day of mostly pure crack climbing.

Excellent climb. Great protection. If you are solid on 10a, give this a run on lead. A must do climb at the Forks.

Kind of unusual for the area. Awesome and great.

I am pretty sure the FA of this was Jim Haisley with me belaying.
Just a bit after a summer monsoon.

Very fun pitch, much better than it looked from the ground.

An excellent route with great position & exposure, and a suprising amount of face climbing.
