View to the SW from the canyon rim.

The gorgeous cliffs to the north - currently private and unclimbable, but they would make a great purchase by a coalition of climbers....hint hint...

In an attempt to preserve some degree of historical accuracy, I submit this map with the names the pioneer climbers of the 1980's gave to these craggy walls.

"The Dihedral", THE classic corner crack.

MC from the south

A difficult climb. An overhanging fingertip lie back (hard to protect) is followed by loose blocks in the chimney. Not recommended if you only want to do "safe" rock climbs.

Please respect and preserve the habitat for the wildlife.

One of the 465 routes established without "leaving a trace."

Climber nearing the top of the Dihedral. I've never climbed this with anyone who thought it was less than solid 5.9. They often wanted to add an "R" rating due to the difficulty of protecting the wide cracks at the top.
