Description:
Crimson Chrysalis is one of those climbs listed in the NA Classics. It is a spectacular crack system that ascends the massive pillar on the north side of Rainbow Moutain. Head up the obvious ramp to the base of the pillar. Locate the massive crack disappearing into the sky. Although only 5.8+, it is still a major undertaking. Watch the rope-eating rappels.Beta/Updates: For those interested, although the Uriostes bolted this line more than usual due to lack of wide pro for the crack, many of the current bolts have been added for convienence.

fun, but can be slowwwwwww
popularity makes this thing go at glacial speeds if you've got several parties before you. got to base @ 7:30 and we were third in line. (granted, we knew the first party, but still...) great climbing otherwise. too many bolts at times, notably near the top.
descend early and bring a knife in case your rope gets irretrievably stuck! fun rating depends on how many people are there... bring warm clothes!
