Cold Shower
Up Juniper Canyon, down Oak Creek. Both were wet. The notch was a waterfall. I got soaked. Oak Creek was a running stream with many pools of water cascading down from one to the other. Wet slabs were found throughout.

Via Oak Creek
Heat made the climb up quite a toil. Thankful and happy to tick this one off the list. Epic hike!

from the southwest (Lovell Canyon)
hiked/climbed this one with Daniel Fazekas, Richard Rojas, and Scott Majewski and it was a long day.
Up Oak Creek again, this time it was a bushwhack, as all the grapevines and assorted brush are growing strong and full!

Oak Creek Canyon
Some snow and ice near the summit on the shaded sides, but not enough to be an obstacle. Extremely windy conditions.

Mountain and Wall
Came up via Oak Creek. Very scenic and enjoyable route.

Via Juniper Cyn
A little rain on the summit. The notch near the top of Juniper Canyon was fun, as well as the third class crack to get up to the summit. Some misdirection by some members of our party put us still up in the boulders and brush after dark, so getting out to the flats was tricky.
Great summit. Kicking through the brush in the canyon gets a little old but the rest of the hike was beautiful - lots of waterfalls from snowmelt too.

various hiking routes
I've been to the 6924' peak at various times, by the cut-over from Juniper Canyon (en route to Rainbow Peak, 6810'), by the standard Oak Creek approach, and by the route from the limestone ridge to the west (the old DPS approach, but started in Lovell Canyon -- very long!). The Juniper route involves some class4, others are class 2 slogs.

Original Route
Josh led all the 5.11+ and harder and I led most of the other stuff. He redpointed everything below rainbow ledge, and onsighted everything after it. I had to hang a handful of times at cruxes. 16 hours car to car.
my first wall ever and a big bite to chew because I also led and hauled every pitch. we had someone drop us off so we could take our time on it and not get a parking citation. we were new to walls and my partner was just in her first year of climbing. we ran outta water and the descent was not correct so the epic started when we topped out. trip ended up taking two days longer than expected and got out just an hour before our friend was going to call a rescue. I lost about 13 lbs in body weight, mostly water loss!

Via North Fork of Oak Creek Canyon
I have done it many times. It is one of my favorite hikes in Red Rock Canyon. I like it best in springtime when there is lots of water flowing through the canyon from the snowmelt. The slideshow from this route is here: Rainbow Wall via Oak Creek Canyon
