The right leaning wide crack that starts off a head height block immediately left of Dexter Delight. It's wide down low but narrows to hand size quickly. Joins Dexter Delight about 50 feet up.

This fun little arete is very confusing and thin. From the start of Malcolm's route go straight up through some very tricky thin edges to the top. Even though this isn't a classic it sees a lot of ascents, because you can easily toprope it after doing Malcolm's route.

The obvious crack system in the corner. A bit mossy but it doesn't really change the quality of climbing (in dry conditions at least). The quality of stone is really good and the climbing nicely varied.

38 Special is not as classic as some other climbs but it is really fun and if you are near it you should do it. With fun slab moves and pockets this is definitely a really awesome route.

Malcolm route is a good route to warm up on and get a feel for the area. A fun start with little pro (optional thin piece) leads to a well protected fun slab route. Even though the route isn't a super classic it is probally climbed more than any other route.

Peyote Pump is most likely the best route and is a route you can not miss. Tricky finger locks and good footwork make this by far the best crack at Rainbow.

Jumping Jack Flash is yet another classic. With positive edges and classic moves this is one of the best routes for beginners. This is another route you can't miss.

This near vertical route is super thin and very balancy with a very tricky sequence in the middle. This is not for the faintest of heart. If you have just started leading 5.11+ this is not a route for you. But if you are comfortable leading 5.11+ then go ahead and try it. If it wasn't for the gear anchor this would get more attention.

Dark Special is yet another classic. A tricky start on the arete leads to spectacular crimping and edging through the arete. This is a route not to miss.

This climb is a very beautiful steep slab just to the right of 38 Special. The crux is transitioning from the steep slab to a low angle ending. Very fun and tricky.

This is yet another classic in Rainbow and the only multi-pitch route in the area.

The first pitch follows the beautiful corner crack through fun finger locks and some fun lie-backing. Once you hit the top of the corner traverse left to the obvious anchors.

Pitch two follows the three bolts through thin fun climbing.

Through certain parts of the season this route can have waterfalls pouring down it.
