The views of the back canyons are pretty nice!

Pitch 4.2: lots of air, on a well-protected and moderate route.<br>

Pitch 3 (Handren).

Pitch 8 (Handren).

The last pitch we did. At the two bolt anchor up there we started rapping back down the route using a 70m plus a tagline.

Jonny just about to enter back into the chimney. Pitch 6 from Doug Hemken's beta. We both felt this chimney pitch was the crux pitch of the route. <br>

A nice place to gear up for Birdhunter Buttress, or to take a nap is at the big, slanted tree. Due to the long approach, and adventure-like climb, you'll most likely have the route/area all to yourselves. : )

On summit ridge. The true summit of Rainbow Mountain is behind and would require quite a bit more effort to get to.

Pitch 2 (Handren). We linked this with Pitch 1.

The views from Birdhunter Buttress/Rainbow Wall are incredible, and gives you a good sense of the vast, rugged terrian of Red Rock. <br>
