Over the Rainbow
Jun 2 2008, 5:10 PM EDT
This route had a rave review form Noel Craine. Thought I'd do it again having put the effort in to re-bolt it. Really enjoyed it, thought it was fantastic in-fact. 21 yrs after making the first ascent! First pitch felt more like 5b but second pitch hard work, I wondered if it might be E4 with the new bolts but still felt like E5 to me, probabaly bottom end though, get on it!

Just done this route today. Absolutely excellent! Great combination of varied climbing and position. A friend led the first pitch so can't comment so easily, but looked to be a bold and commiting start, to good gear, then excellent 5b crack/layback climbing to the top, probably E4 5c (there is a easier traverse in from the left if you trust the hanging fin of death (E3 5c?). The second pitch is classic slate arete and slab climbing. Well protected by bolts in an awesome position, I thought E4 6a. Go and do it!! Nice one Mike.
