Gravity's Rainbow

Gravity's Rainbow begins in a right-arching hand crack that quickly widens to OW, then into an awkward squeeze. Savor the "Little Cottonwood Lean" as you move out of the maw, then onto the wafer-thin flake above. Traverse right along the splitter, undercling flake to a two-bolt anchor. From the belay, climb past a mahogany and to a finger crack leading up to an overlap. Surmount the bulge by aiding off of the antique 1/4" bolt on the slab above; undercling-lieback the right-angling corner--the rock quality really begins to degrade here--and into a small alcove. The Ruckman topo shows the line traversing off of the slab to the right; however, it is also possible to climb directly out of the gritty alcove to the rappel tree--a small, uninspiring mahogany tree adorned by faded tat.

Gravity's Rainbow begins 15 feet to the left of the start to Boomerang.

Bring along a standard LCC rack up to 4" for the first pitch, doubles are not necessary, but may prove useful--long slings are a must for the second pitch to reduce rope drag.
