Most Memorable Dihedral You've Ever Climbed?

2nd pitch of Alaskan Highway in Squamish, especially the first 20ft (now does it qualify as a dihedral or more of a v-slot?) I wished I had dragged a camera up there for that one, but a great photo of Sonnie Trotter on it is in the Alpinist, Issue 35.

Paradise Lost at Pardise Forks in Arizona



or Shangri-la in Sedona, Arizona(pitches 1, 4 and 5 are dihedrals and pitch 3 climbs like on)


or choose 20 or 30 of the dihedrals at Indian Creek....

As mentioned before, the Moritorium in Yosemite was also pretty good (another one I didn't drag up a camera for).

I have to mentioned:
Bunny Slope at the Creek.
1st pitch on Castleton chimney route.
The Cave Route at the Creek.
The Wave at I.C.
Andromida strain at the Red (if a cliff is closed, does the climb still exist?)
Moby Grape at 11 Mile

Already mentioned-
Zanzibar on I.P. is a classic!

3 A.M. Crack in the creek.

Pitch #3 of Playing Hooky on the Tombstones near Moab. A corner so clean, you could eat off of it!

Word. Did this a few days ago, and just clicked on this thread to add it. It's the best dihedral at the NRG, though I have not yet been on Greatest Show, heh.

Too many to choose from! I think the Lighthouse outside Moab is amazing. The Good Book on the Camp 4 wall in Yosemite and maybe this one cool route at Rockin and Jammin last month........... Oh yeah and SS Maywood at Vedauwoo! And Spectreman........ And all of the routes Ive ever done on devils tower and the other ones I cant remember

The original route on Rainbow wall. The only dihedral I've "climbed" without actually climbing the dihedral. The route consistently throws you into crazy face climbing scenarios before returning you to the corner.

This is on a new route on Snowpatch's east face. Like the split pillar, only longer and better. Bugaboos.


The 600 ft long immaculate corner on All Along the Watchtower- with a setting sun over pure wilderness to Duncan Lake. Bugaboos.
