looking for any topo for the original route on the rainbow wall. Is there a bivy ledge for 2?

Thanks for any info.

Can easily be done in a day. You could bivy at the base of the route if you really wanted to.

Jerry Handrens' guidebook has a very good topo.

Over the rainbow ledge is an exceptional Bivi for 2++.

It's not like this is an obscure route, all of this info is easy to find.

As has been said already, super easy to do in a day.

Looking to possibly Aid the original route. Not strong enough a trad climber to free it in a day. Are there any topos or info about aiding the route?

Thanks for any info.

Jacob - I have aided this route in 2 days, as it was my team's first big wall and we wanted to sleep on the rainbow ledge (which ended up being super cozy for 3). We free climbed up to 5.10c, but the whole route goes at 5.8 C2. No pins needed. Super quick descent. Feel free to PM me if you want more info.

I was really happy to have pins when I did the climb. Seemed like bugaboos and angles were vital to get bomber pro. Maybe also bring a drill, there are a few shitty bolts that need to be replaced. Good luck, great route!
