Green Dihedral 

TWO ropes (~135')for the descent from P2. Quality route.

Terrific route, lots of good pro with hexes, can use a single rope, and rap to the 12b anchors, then to the ground.

Sustained is a good word for this gem. Above the unsightly nest of slings (the hanging belay) is another stretch of crack that continues with the same genuine quality caliber of the hand traverse to the hanging belay. Grab a breather at the hanging belay and go for the top instead of rapping. It's short and goes to another unsightly nest of slings, but adds a few more moves of great climbing.

Can be done as one pitch if you're 'solid at the grade' ;-). The second time around makes the route seem a little harder than 5.7--maybe 8-.

This finish can be extended so you don't have to rappel off that ugly nest of slings, if you don't trust them. You can go up to the ledge above, then downclimb the slabby ramp carefully to a 2 bolt anchor. From there, it's 2 rappels to the ground. May make is R or S to finish this way.

This is a fantastic line! I agree with Ben: it is [definitely] the spiciest and most committing [Eldo] 7 I've done, and feels like 8- if done as one pitch, which I fully recommend--more bang for your buck, and the climbing flows so well! That sling belay is horrendous at the end, but for me, it was a relief to stop there after the pumpy section before it!

Excellent climb. On the second pitch, in the left-facing corner before it arches left, there are some slightly loose chockstones and flakes. Be wary of where you place pro.

I agree with the recommendation to pass up the hanging belay at the end of the traverse on the second pitch and go straight up another short bit of exciting climbing to the next mess of slings (up and to the left a bit). A large cam (#4Fr, #3.5Cam) is nice to have handy to place in a slot to the right as you pull up above the hanging belay.

This is really a great line and can be done on a standard rack. Regardless of the grade you climb, this is a fun outing. As previously stated, you can add 40 feet to the climb by going up and left from the first belay to a second station in a single lead, making this one of the finest single pitches of its grade in the area.

If this route were in Eldo proper, there would be constant lines. Classic climbing and nicely sustained at 5.7.

A stout 5.7, and the 1st pitch of Red Dihedral is a stout 5.6. Bring some extra big cams (I had an extra #3 Camalot and a #4) and sew it up. Wicked good moves throughout. The upper rap station (among other things) is hollow, and had I known beforehand I would have followed Leo Paik's advice above.

P1 - Begin with P1 of Red Dihedral, left-facing dihedral to a 2 bolt anchor. (70 feet) P2 continue up the obvious, left arching corner to the end and then straight up for a total distance of (100 feet). Highly recommend combining the two pitches for 170 feet of amazing climbing. Standard rack including a #3, 4 Camalot and a #2 and #3.5 for above the roof. Rap 1 from the top of Green Dihedral to the top of P1 Plane Geometry (80 feet) Rap 2 from Plane Geometry to the ground (90 feet). Note: The sketchy rap at the end of the roof has been removed to restore the original line. The rap anchors at the top of Green Dihedral were refurbished 01.30.2009.

So good as one pitch! What a gem!
