Description
The Dihedral - 5.8 *** (120') G
A classic line (if not always classic quality climbing) up the first huge dihedral you come to along the main canyon trail (just above the jumble of huge boulders on the canyon floor). Climb the corner and face to the left to belay at the large block on top. Be careful of possible loose rock in the upper corner.
Take the grading with a grain of salt, as it has been called everything from hard 5.7 to hard 5.9... (so I split the difference with an 8)
Location
The obvious corner about a third of the way down the main canyon (directly across from the McLoughlin Canyon interpretive sign on the road). Head right to the base of the corner just before the cluster of huge boulders (about 5 minutes walk from the parking turn out). Walk off along the terrace to the north or continue up the face above...
