Most Memorable Dihedral You've Ever Climbed?

What's the most memorable dihedral you've ever climbed? What made it stick in your mind?

Ryan, why don't you get us started with your most memorable dihedral!

But I'll add that mine was "Sheila." And "The Open Book" in Tahquitz."

Second pitch of Ocean Negro (that dihedral above Chocolate Corner at the Creek). Didn't even come close to sending it, but it had some of the hardest sandstone stemming I've ever tried.

Sorry RC had better pictures. This dihedral is absolutely amazing!! Just make it out there to Montana and do this route!

What made it memorable was my friend decking on his ass on this pitch leaving me to finish it.

Goes @ 10D

Donkey Dihedral at Devils Lake was a major butt whipping .

Open Book @ Tahquitz - partly for the historical aspect (first 5.9 in the States) and partly b/c it's a great line

Red Dihedral on the Hulk - took 3 attempts to do this route (1 bail due to slow party ahead of us, 1 partner ankle sprain on approach)

P3 of OZ on Drug Dome - my first 10c (more like 10b) lead in Tuolumne

The long 5.8 corner on the casual route:

Straight Shot at the Alcohol Wall, First Creek Canyon, Red Rock. It looks reasonable from the ground but when you're up there the stems & smears become increasingly difficult because of the deceptively overhanging nature of the route. The inside crack will only accept 1/4 of a pad making holding onto it damn near impossible. If it were not for the quality and quantity of protection this route would be a certain pucker fest.

Just so consistently good!

+1 on the 5.8 long dihedral on the Casual Route too!

The last pitch of Perversion was cool. Not a true dihedral because most of the climbing is to the right of the dihedral proper. Not the hardest climb either. But the classic nature of the line is great.

Sunshine at Smith

Beautiful moves and thought-provoking protection. I took a scary fall trying to clip the first bolt during my initial attempt. When everything goes just right, it feels like 5.8.

Lots of really good ones out there.

Hospital Corner @ the Leap

Red Dihedral on the Hulk

The Yawn and Ounce @ Tuolumne

The Good Book, Silent Freeway, Anticipation, English Breakfast Crack, Catchy Corner, Meat Grinder, Finger Lickin, Mental Block, and dozens of others in the Valley.

I've never even climbed at Devil's Tower, but that looks like a corner climbing paradise. Indian Creek also has loads but I haven't climb much their either.

Here's a couple photos

The Red Dihedral in the Sierras because it was, well, in the Sierras.

Jaws and Supercrack at the NRG because they were some of my first crack climbs.

3am crack and Noname crack at Indian Creek because they were my first sustained #3 cracks.

Some 10c finger crack at Gold Coast at RRG because it was my first 10c trad climb (I think).

My Banana is Happy to See You on Koh Phi Phi because it was a first ascent (or so I thought at the time).

Fancy Free and Thin Ice at the Needles because they were sick!

I should shut up now.

Rock Wars, RRG
Jasper's Dihedral, Blue Mounds, MN
Soler, Devils Tower

These are the first three to come to mind. I am sure plenty of you are familiar with Rock Wars and Soler, but if you ever make it to the middle of the plains in MN, Jasper's Dihedral 5.8+ is the MUST DO route for the whole area.

I'll probably catch some flak for this because it's only about 30 feet...and bolted but:

I think the combination of the fact that it's right in the middle of arguably THE crag in the northeast, the insecure climbing, and watching super-strong, 5.14 sport climbers be terrified on this makes it up there for me.

coarse and buggy in JT is another good one.

, although technically I suppose the endless upper crack is a splitter, not a dihedral.

Zebra Zion Smith Rock.

+1 for Open Book at Tahquitz.

Heart and Sol in Jtree has an awesome but short dihedral section just after the slab part with some thin gear. That was awesome.

Rattletale in Index, WA is AMAZING. Three-pitches of dihedral (5.9, 10b, 10a)

I can't believe no one has mentioned Quarter of a Man in Indian Creek or the "enduro corner" on Astroman so far. Astroman's changing-corners pitch is a pretty spectacular affair as well. The most epic corner I've ever tried to climb, however, is Ram Implosion Wing (5.12) in the Creek — really long, steep, sandy and scary.

For the northeasterners out there, I have to mention the Book of Solemnity on Cathedral.
