Right before the chains on the first pitch.


Description 

A huge slab, which looks detatched, sits at a relatively low angle on the northeast corner of Flaming Rock. Raindance goes up this slab.

(1) The first pitch wanders up blocks to a two-bolt (hanging) belay just below the big slab.

(2) Surmount the small roof and continue up... and up... the long slab, expecting some good healthy runout (nothing too severe) in places.

Either rappel the route with 2 ropes, or walk west to the top of Tribal Boundaries and rap that route with 1 rope. Beware of climbers below you on TB, as you won't be able to see them.


Protection 

16 to 18 quickdraws.

This is a great route and it well protected. Onl the second pitch there are about 4 5.7 friction moves before it goes to 5.5 friction. There is some space between bolts on the 5.5 stuff, but nothing scary.

take a compass if its your first time, this area gets really confusing for first timers. there is no way you can miss the trail to the climb, just go to the south east part of the rock and look for a trail that approaches the wall. two ropes to get off the second pitch, one for the first.

I took a friend on her first Multi lead here last week and was very impressed with it, very strait forward no route finding problems and plenty of bolts. however remember to bring two ropes or rap down Tribal Boundaries.

Really like the route. This was the first climb my partner and I did together and I think it works well for people who want to get a feel for one another.

This is a great route, and it falls pretty easily. I'd say on the second pitch you're best off bringing a ton of draws, or skipping bolts or you'll run out.

With long slings (very long) and some skipped clips on the first pitch, you can combine this into one long pitch- 70meters + a short simulclimb.
