Another hard face climb. The face overhangs, the pockets are small, and the footwork is dubious at best.

Diabolical Dihedral

A slightly overhanging face with several fine, roomy pockets. The only problem is that the pockets are just far enough apart to be brutal.

Follow the dihedral to the top. Surprisingly solid rock. The route passes behind a cedar tree halfway up.

Climb 10 feet into a seam, that opens up into a dihedral. When that gets too tough, step right around the corner.

Stay out of the depths of the chimney by stemming across the opening. Avoid the huge hanging blade that gives the climb its name.

Double-shallow-roof route at the north end of the wall.

Generous pockets and a few strategic face holds are spaced just right to stay on the "fun" side of the line.

Follow a small double-crack dihedral for 25 feet to an overhang. Dodge around the bulge on the left, and climb up 10 feet to a ledge. From the ledge, follow a seam directly above the lower crack to the top.

Climb up and left on a ramp. When you reach the dead end in the yellow, overhanging dihedral, traverse right on a small horizontal ledge to the center of a smooth face. Using and undercling and a very long reach, continue up the face to ledge holds and pockets with a mantel to the top.

Climb up the blocky cleft to the find hand crack that starts 30 feet off the ground. Follow the crack for 15 feet and finish beneath the cedar branch.

It starts with pockets and works left slightly up into the overhang. The overhang about halfway up requires interesting maneuvers and a little bit of power. great face climbing on good pockets and crimps. Quite a bit of pump near the top as you traverse to the same end as Nutcracker.

Climb straight up the center of the face.

Climb up to the lone bush on this ramp, and then take the hand crack up to the cedar.

In the center of the wall is a yellow nose pointing Southwest. Climb the face just below this nose, and then tackle the nose itself.

Climb 15 feet to the crumbly ledge. Follow the dihedral to the top.

Exposed, tall portion of the main rock wall between Indian Head and the Amphitheater.
