Rainbow Buttress, 5.8+

Rainbow Buttress, 5.8+

3rd Pitch- 140’- 5.8/ Start up the dihedral with a few off width moves past the first roof and then traverse out right to a an easier corner and continue out over the arête further right gaining intermittent cracks that run up the face and bleed back left into the main corner at a decent ledge. There is better pro to belay at this ledge versus the next one right above you which is more sloping. My 2nd got her backpack stuck in the off width section, best to hang it.
