Approach to routes on the upper tier of the Bihedral.<br /><br />Follow the approach trail up the hill until it cuts right toward the rock at a flat area. Spot a cairn by a big pine tree close to the rock. Head right, past the tree and around a rock rib. Climb the rock, mostly easy with a short 4th-class section, up to the upper tier.

A short but fun route. The move past the first bolt and the move at the headwall felt a little harder than 5.8 to me and my partner.

This climb shares an anchor with Flags of Our Fathers.

For a great two-pitch 5.9 outing:

P1. Start on Where's Ray? and continue with the second pitch of Flags of Our Fathers, going to the anchor atop the first pitch of Bihedral Arete. 5.9, 120'.

P2. Continue with the third pitch of Flags of Our Fathers. 5.9, 70'.

Gear: red and yellow Aliens, small wires, 10 draws and two longer runners.

Descend via two rappels; a 60m rope will get you down.

Did I miss something in the guide info? What is above the anchors on this route? They still look shinny and pretty. Is it new?

JellieBean (did you change your name?), Where's Ray ends at the same first anchor as Flags of Our Fathers. Then, Flags.. goes up 2 more pitches to a new anchor which is also for the Bihedral Arete. These routes were done Fall 2006. Above that anchor is the short and difficult Sands of Iwo Jima.
