Featured Route For Tumbling Rainbow Formation

Tic Tic Boom 5.12a CA : Joshua Tree National Park : ... : Tumbling Rainbow Formation

To the right of Run For Your Life, on the other side of the Tumbling Rainbow, is this beautiful featured face. Start as for Rainy Day Dream Away, climbing up thin cracks past a piton to the first bolt. Trend left, then up the face past four more bolts. Athletic pulls from perfect brown patina edges provide the crux. Well bolted but still exciting, especially at the beginning. Rappel from the top with a 60 meter rope....[more] Browse More Classics in CA

Does anyone know what that 20+ foot roof is, to the left of Tumbling Rainbow? There is a finger crack in it -- it looked chalked up, and it looks really, really hard and wild.

The big-ass roof to the left of T. Rainbow is Army Armstrong......A2+.......(take a fishhook to hook a big ol' flake once over the roof.....a fun and worthy aid climb....will/has it gone free?......who knows...

does anybody know if a hold has broken off tic tic boom past the third bolt (piton included) through the crimpy section? I was on it a few days ago and it seemed a lot harder than i remember...

A route named Run From Your Wife (10c) to the left of Runaway is not included in this list. Good route, one bolt leading to a crack to a second bolt, I think, needs more traffic. Worth doing if you are climbing that dome.
