Jan Brown starting off on a lead of Pine Tree Dihe...
Description
The Pine Tree Dihedral is an easily protected route that is excellent for novice trad leaders. The route follows the inside corner that sits below the teenaged pine tree growing out of the rock near the top of the wall. Climb this route by jamming the crack of the dihedral up to the overhanging block midway up the wall. Proceed to the right of the overhanging block and continue up the dihedral, passing the tree on your left. Duck under the tree branches and follow the inside corner to the top of the wall.
For leading, it likes big stuff. Cams 2" and up, #10 and #11 Hexentrics. However, there is a good placement in the small roof for small cams. Fun crack.
