Description
Rainbow Tower climbs an obvious, giant, left-facing dihedral.
P1. Climb through 10' of mank to get into a thin, splitter crack. Climb this crack on small gear for a ways until it widens out, and you see a pin out right that will take you to a 2 pin anchor in an alcove (5.6, C1, 115').
P2. To continue from the alcove, there are 3 crack options...you pick. They will all work. We climbed the center crack with very awkward 5.9 to get into a chimney. Climb the chimney to two aid bolts. Aid past the two bolts to the Torpedo Block and an anchor in a notch (5.9, C1, 65'). If you climb the right crack, it will meet up with the center crack in the chimney. If you climb the left crack, it will meet up with the other two just before the torpedo block.
P3. Climb the short crack to pin holes. Hand place pins in the holes, and aid up the face to a mantel onto the summit (5.7, C1+, 40').
When we climbed this, we topped out on the summit to find no anchor. The rope that was slung around the summit by the last party to rappel must have blown away. We decided that two pins would be less of an eye sore than a rope around the summit, so I replaced the pins that were once there.
Descent: rappel from the summit to the notch on top of pitch 2. From here, do one double rope rappel to the ground.
