    by Outdoor Research

    Uploaded

    The Rainbow Wall towers over the rest of Red Rocks. The Original Route (Grade V, 5.12) takes a plumb line up the center of the wall. The rock is flawless. The climbing sustained at 5.11 with a few harder cruxes thrown in. While it draws on the style that made Red Rocks famous for its sport climbing, you need a single rack and traditional mindset. Unless you are super fast, you will likely enjoy the shimmering lights of Las Vegas on your way down.
