Description Suggest change

Tucked back in the valley up the Rainbow Trail is a series of adventurous spires. They range from very poor rock to sections of awesome rock with great exposure. It is subalpine/alpine adventure climbing, not classic in the traditional sense, but well worth it for the adventure appeal and the solitude. Only intrepid climbers who are okay with choss and are craving a different experience will climb here.

Getting There Suggest change

Follow the Rainbow Trail to the second bridge, look East, and you won't miss them. They are directly Northwest of Sheep Mountain.
