Not thats what I call a good nut placement!


Description 

Dippy Diagonal is a nice finger crack located west of the Keyhole below the South Platform. Climb up crack about 3 feet right of the inside corner (Kenosis, rt# 63). The wall gets steeper toward the top of the crack. Either stop at the large ledge or continue up to the top on Kenosis.

This right here is a SWEET moderate lead, Gobbles up nuts, & hold Galore.

It's a little off the beaten path but worth the effort to find it.

A very well protected lead indeed as is Kenosis as well, but I would characterize the crack as more hand size than finger.

Definitely a hand crack. Great stances every few feet to place gear. Protects well with nuts and hexes. Excellent moderate lead.

The first time I climbed this route, I led it on-sight and it felt a little stiffer than 5.7. Now after TRing it several times I agree that it's Devil's Lake 5.7. For new leaders, Kenosis 5.4 the inside corner right to the left is a good beginner's lead and you can set up TR and play on Dippy after you top out.
