Description Suggest change

A Peter Gabriel song from the eighties references red rain pouring down. I have no idea where the name of the route came from but it may have something to do with the red choss I rained down at my belayer. Don't lose your stoke now-it gets much much better!

Scamper up past 15 feet of chinle choss. Gaze up at crisp beautiful black varnish, it is going to be so good. Fire in a few tips pieces and stem/chimney up to the obvious green camalot roof. Notice that all the feet are in just the right places. After the roof you are cruising through some hands to a nice stance. Somewhat strenuous, flared blue camalots lead to a small roof, a splitter and the anchor (which could use some work: angle, tat, bandito pull tab).

Location Suggest change

  • Look above the layer of chinle for a left facing corner with a large bulge 10 feet off the choss.

Protection Suggest change
