Party Wall on the Rainbow Wall (Original Route, 5.12-, Grade V)

I first met Avishay in Jerusalem on my way back from a climbing trip to Wadi Rum this past February. A mutual friend connected us and after a 6am text telling my buddy and I to be ready at our hostel in an hour, he scooped us up and we found ourselves en route to a "secret" climbing area in Palestine. We stayed in touch and finally linked up in Red Rocks a couple days before this climb. Avi is primarily a sport climber but was particularly psyched to try Rainbow Wall so we made it a priority. I had been climbing with the Aussie (Ryan) in the video the days before Avi and I met up. While it wasn't originally in the cards to climb the route together, we discussed the idea and finally committed the night before to make it happen. I typically despise climbing in a party of three becasue it's not efficient but this seemed like too good of an opportunity to pass up since we were all pretty psyched. We started hiking at 6:26am on 11/21/20, began climbing around 8:30, topped out around 2:30, and got back to the car shorty after 5. All in all, it was a great day with 2/3 onsights. For those interested, it's a super approachable and well protected route for people breaking into the grade but the crux pitches are not soft in the slightest.
