Description

The Fiend stems and contorts up the obvious, vibrantly colored, overhanging dihedral on the Stonehenge formation. Boulder past three bolts to a huge flake, place a red Camalot, and then funk your way past two more bolts, and increasingly difficult moves to the anchors. Unfortunately, an existing pebble was reinforced at the top of this route. Nevertheless, this is a very unique, and beautiful climb with a lot of value.

Location

This is the only bolted dihedral on the formation. The anchors consist of two very solid nuts with a single carabiner (nonlocking). There is also a carabiner on the second to last bolt, which makes it easier to clean the route. A 50 meter rope will easily get you down.
