Great Dihedral on South Howser Beckey-Chouinard - 3 to 4 pitches long and in the sun. Pretty much glorious. |

Fourth pitch of The Casual Route. |
|
The Fonrouge-Somebody route on the backside of the Torre Principal at Frey- a long, golden perspectival convergence. Probably 180 feet if it's an inch and stuck full of pins, it's pretty thin. That one's stuck with me. |
|
Most fun probably Zanzibar dihedral in Indy pass most memorable |
|
Not sure if it has been mentioned, but the night crawler at red rocks is pretty amazing. two pitches of awesome sustained dihedral beautifulness. |
|
Rockwork Orange, Mt Woodson, 5.10b Short but sweet at one of the best crack climbing areas around, even if its "just" a top rope. |
|
Endurance Pitch on Astroman, Hans Florine told me all I needed was #3 Camalot and I'd be solid. That Camalot was tipped out halfway up and I just had to thrutch it 40' to the belay... dick. |
|
Colchuck Balanced Rock-West Face has some amazing dihedral climbing, but the main dihedral pitch up under the 30 foot roof has to be one of the best in an amazing setting. |

Campanille Basso (from SummitPost)
Via Fehrmann on the Campanille Basso (Brenta region, Dolomites). Ten to 14 pitches to the shoulder, a few more to the summit. When we returned to the refugio, the warden of the hut was out chopping wood. The venerable Bruno Detassis, "King of the Brenta", was in his 80s. I told him that we had been on the Basso, or at least shook some gear and said "Fehrmann verschneidung". His eyes lit up and he pantomimed the crux moves perfectly. A wonderful exchange since he didn't speak English, and I didn't speak Italian. near the top of the corner (from SP) |

Zanzibar Dihedral, near Independence Pass, was mentioned. So many great dihedrals out there, but that's the popped into my head as well. 50 meters of pure fun on the best rock Aspen has to offer. Thought I should share a pic so you know what I mean. |
|
Bloody Corner, on Mt Russell. The crux pitch is five stars, without a doubt. Great rock, unreal position, a long pitch (ca. 190'), and sustained! |
