| Dihedral
Wall, 1990 Here we are, Peter Harremoes and I, half a dozen pitches up this relatively obscure climb. It was the third ever major route done on El Cap, bagged by the old school trio of Ed Cooper, Jim Baldwin and Glen Denny (and now freed by fellow amputee Caldwell). It follows a long series of, surprise, dihedrals that all, except the Black Arch pitch, faces left. This sets you up for awkward right handed nailing or, in my case, a lefty's dream route. Ironically the Black Arch, the only relief for my partners contorted hammer stances, also turned out to be my lead. There was a fair bit of gardening required on some sections. One pitch, rated A3, turned out to be simple clean aid after digging thru the muck and dirt. Regardless, Dihedral Wall was another wholly worthwhile outing. |
