Fun jamming and edge pulling up an initial corner eventually leads to a twin crack system on the left face that continues up to anchors. There are a couple of exit options at the top.

The route ends behind the block near the arete, at the end of the short off-width. Bear left on the obvious and natural line.

Climb  the face directly underneath a crescent shaped crack about 2/3rd's up the wall. You can easily clip the two first bolts of Basalt Shaker as you head up to the crack, then pass an off-width and chimney section, and eventually get to the anchor.

Fun but sometimes awkward climbing up the face and arete lead past bolts to a bolted anchor.

Climb a right leaning broken hand and fist crack to the off width about half way. Up this to anchors on the right.

Starts up a white right facing corner just left of Back Bumper. Cruxy moves are encountered engaging a seam back left and then the route finishes up and right.

Climb up past a face and left-facing corner to a small sandy ledge. Walk to the corner, and climb directly up. Stay in the corner the entire climb, placing protection where you can. Thoughtful moves on less than stellar rock get you through a small overhang to a nice bolted anchor. This climb would be excellent if the rock quality was better. Tread carefully as you climb past a couple of large, loose blocks near the top.

Basalt Shaker climbs a nice, shady face but is unfortunately not very good.  Very easy (5.8) climbing leads to a final bolt where the angle kicks back presenting a 5.10+ crux.  The anchors are very difficult to clip due to a choice between a disintegrating clipping hold or a big lock off from a much better, and lower, hold.

Delicately climb up a thin crack and face past a few horizontals to a bolted anchor. Fun and sustained and thoughtful climbing make this a great route.

Start in the corner to the right of the Barfing Bone Balls crack. Climb the short corner and then head slightly right to a crack which leads to a shallow left facing corner. Up this move diagonaling left to a crack, then back right under a roof and finally up to the anchor. Worthwhile route.

Fun vertical and horizontal edge pulling lead up the arete to an eventual turn onto the right face after 3 bolts. Getting past the initial 2 bolts is the crux and leads to easier climbing above. The start is more difficult for the vertically challenged.

finger to fist crack in a tight corner. About 35' up you will pass a small roof on your left and continue up the dihedral.

AF1 takes the nice curving arete-feature just left of the long right-facing corner crack in the center of Rainbow Canyon.  Begin up that climb and then bust left to the first bolt and balance and reach your way up a series of thin edges on nice rock.  The position on this one is great.

This climb has a lack-luster first pitch but the second pitch makes it a worthwhile endeavor.  

  Pitch 1: Begin at the left side of a buttress.  There is a single bolt about 15 ft off the ground.  Pull a cruxy 5.10- move to get to the bolt.  Continue up easier ground with sporadic protection to a ledge with bolted anchors.   

  Pitch 2:  This is an amazing pitch!  It goes from tight hands to hands up a wide angled dihedral.  Savor every jam with great protection to bolted anchors.

This crack is great if you like finger cracks. there are plenty of good locks and good feet where you need them. I didn't find a definitive crux. Seems you can just cruise right along and if you need a rest you can always find a position for it.

Climb up the initial small corner of A Quarter and a Half then step right into the corner proper of this unknown 8. The corner will lead up to a set of anchors on the right hand side. The climbing is fun. Too bad some of the rock is loose. Beware of dropping mostly small stones on your belayer.

Boulder up some difficult edge climbing to the first bolt and clip off of a decent hold. From there you wander up chasing the best edges. As with other RH/ML routes, the bolts sometimes feel as they just barely make the route safe, but maybe that's just an illusion. I'm 5'6 and this felt reachy and 10+.

This climb starts in a nice left facing corner with a finger sized crack.  About 30 feet up you can get a rest at the large horizontal break.  After the horizontal break, continue up the corner with fragile rock and small gear until you get to the base of the roof.  Place some gear and go right out the roof using underclings and some small footholds.  Once at the end of the roof pull into steep hand jams, and crank your way to the anchor. This route would be really sick if it had more traffic.

Climb up a nice finger and hand crack, occasionally using face moves. Clipping anchors is a bit awkward. Fun, enjoyable movement on this route.

Start in a short left facing corner with a bolt a short distance up the face. You can place gear in the corner or climb up to the bolt, as you may prefer. The corner is not easy climbing and starting on the fact to the left of the corner may keep it in the 8 range. Once up the corner, you'll be on a small ledge that you can walk to the back of and look left to the north facing wall. The big crack/corner n the right is Sloppy Seconds. There is a thin crack that meanders up the face and is fun, eventually joining the big corner towards the top tight below some stackjed boulders that appear threatening. They may be solid enough, but you decide. Above and to the right of the stacked boulders in the corner is a bolted anchor.

A tricky boulder problem start leads to about 10 feet of easier climbing, and then the pump clock starts.  A long series of cryptic thin face climbing takes you to the arete on the right.  Trying to gain the arete is the true crux, but the arete above is no easy task either.  I believe the route is called Schwing Time because if you blow it while up on the arete, you will be schwinging.

Start at a face with a left facing corner to your right. The first bolt is obvious and directly above. Once past a tough little start, continue up and then left to a face just to the right of the arete. The route starts facing the wall (East) then climbs the wall facing North.

Long left-facing very clean corner. Off hands to off width. First 75' is awesome!

A cool discontinuous crack and bolted line.  Super cool.
