Description

Obtuse Corner is an old school 5.8 trad route. Follow the diagonal crack placing small cams. Stand up to the eyebrow, and slot a #0.3 or similar cam. Move past this crux, and try to get a tricam, or run it out to the good #0.5 and 1 at the next stance. Lieback up to a long reach and a dicey smear to the anchor.
