Access Issue: You may see the Peregrine Falcons closure signs for Painted Walls on the approach path to Rainbow but, so far, Rainbow has always remained open.

Description
The 5.8 / 5.8+ moves are well protected by two 3/8" SS bolts, climbing up to the bolts is about 5.6 - 5.7R. Knowing Webster, the bolts (probably originally 1/4", then later replaced with 3/8) were drilled by hand on the lead.
START- at the left side of the Perfect Wave Slab, 40 feet below a small overlap. (Same start as for First Wave and Silver Surfer)
P1: Pad up the easy 5.4 slab, past the overlap to a belay ledge with a small maple tree and dbl bolt anchor. 70-80 feet. (Pretty much the same as First Wave and Perfect Wave.)
P2: Climb up and slightly left from the belay ledge to a bolt at the base of a bulging, blank slab. Pull past this to the next bolt, and then angle even more left to a horizontal crack, 90 feet.
P3: From here, climb unprotected to the trees, or a bit right to the double bolt anchor of Silver Surfer. P2 and P3 can be combined with a 60M.
Descent - Bring two ropes to rap from the sling anchor on the Perfect Wave route, or make three single-rope raps down Silver Surfer.
