MapCurving Dihedral
Description
Curving Dihedral is a short but strenuous exercise in laybacking and stemming. Climb into a short slab to reach the namesake feature. Stem and layback up the thin dihedral, exiting right. Climb moderate rock up and right to the summit ridge.
Location
The route starts off the large ledge above the
Sooberb
/
Long John's
bolted rappel anchors. It's a few feet right of the
Erickson's Finish
roof crack.
Protection
It protects better than it looks from the ground. A #4 Camalot will protect the opening moves of the dihedral, which takes up to a #1 Camalot. Double-up on small cams, and bring a couple of large pieces for the anchor.
