Gravity's Rainbow

FA Chace & Levin, 1978
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

Gravity's Rainbow climbs up to the left-facing corner and long undercling that is just right of the

Right Torpedo Tube

. The initial section is poorly protected 5.9 or 5.10- leading into the short, obvious, hanging corner about 30 feet up. Place gear, then launch up and left into an impressive undercling. The jams are OK to start, but as you move left, the rock swings out from underneath the feet...just as the jamming and underclinging gets hardest...very out-of-balance stuff, pumpy too. The irony here is you will never have wanted to get into one of the Tubes as badly as you will when you are about to barndoor off into space at the crux. Once in the

Right Tube

, slither, flex, and curse on much easier climbing to the top. See the

Left Tube

for descent beta.

Protection

Wireds to something big for the upper part of the

Right Tube

. The last moves into

The Tube

are a bit exciting.
