On May 11th, 2022 I went to Rainbow Peak but missed Rainbow wall and also didn't capture the Crux of the climb on my GoPro. The crux involves downclimbing into the saddle before the main peak. There is a very tricky potentially dangerous spot at the bottom. On this trip I filmed my method and explained my beta for the crux. I also hit Rainbow wall on my way back.

Thanks for watching

Disclaimer: Hiking and climbing has risks, you could fall and injure yourself or even die. You could also run out of water, get lost and die of dehydration especially when hiking in the desert. Use common sense, bring more than enough water, maybe even a filter/tablets. Be prepared, go in a group if you can, be safe!

    Great adventure! Thanks for all the detail about the crux, now there's finally some information out there! I was at Bridge Point on Memorial Day and saw your name in the book 2x, I hope you found the route you were looking for your second attempt. Keep adventuring!
