Description Suggest change

P1: Belay from the base of Rainshadow Crack. Scramble up a couple of ledges. Face climb up past two bolts (added after the first ascent to avoid the perpetually wet, original start) to get into the main corner. Continue up, clipping a bolt before working onto a large ledge. Step up, clipping a bolt, into a broken crack system and find yourself doing some creative face moves and gear placements. Move into the v-slot and soon step right up a ramp to the anchors of Rainshadow Crack. 30m

P2: Start up the beginning of the second pitch of Rainshadow Crack. A good, but shallow, cam or a creative nut placement protect the tricky moves off the belay. Continue up a nice low angle finger crack, making a slab traverse left below a bulge. Aim up across easier terrain to the base of a large right facing corner system (sneaky cam and/or bolt for protection). Clip a bolt and stem up into the corner. Follow it up and then left, passing two more bolts, to the anchor. A few single length slings and one double length sling keep the rope running smooth. 32m

Two raps with a 70m rope
or
walk off by continuing up through a a short 3rd class section to a tree belay at the top of the formation
