Description Suggest change

These climbs are phenomenal and worth the hike!

Getting There Suggest change

Before arriving at King Buttress, turn left off the blue-flagged trail and follow the green-flagged trail uphill to reach Cloudbreak. After 10-15 min, you will make your way up and past the Rainshadow crag. Keep heading climber's right past a good look-out until you get to a big cave. Exile trail systems still need some work, so finding this crag is part of the adventure!

– OR – Stay on the blue trail and veer left toward Tripoli Pillar. From there, continue past the pillar and make your way uphill to Raindshadow and then on to Cloudbreak.
