warming up on this great route


Description 

Arguably the best route at Minne, Dihedral is often TR'd, but is an excellent lead. You'll lieback, jam, stem, crimp and smear up this one. The Crux is at mid-height, after moving left from a good rest in the corner. sustained from this point. Many consider it hard for the grade.


Location 

Look for the obvious left facing corner in the middle of the main wall (facing Upriver Dr.) Easy walk off


Protection 

set of stoppers and cams to 2". 2 bolt anchor on top. bring webbing if you want to toprope.

It appears they didn't cut it out, someone just took the hanger. I will take a hanger to replace it next time I go.
