The Diagonal

FA Rich Gottlieb, 1977
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

Climb the far left hand crack to a stance on the right face, then "wrassle" your way up into a v notch/off-width nightmare (Yosemite style), keep squirming your way to a rest. Continue up the dihedral/flake to another rest on a big block. You are now on top of the sling nest where the two variations finish and looking up at more "wrassling" in another v notch. Okay, so now, gear, smear on crappy feet and finger lock your way to a hand jam. Gear. And continue to the fixed hex and the top. And don't forget the occasional back/butt smear.

The bolt is no more.

There are two additional starts to the right...one is 5.8, the other 5.9. These both end at slings and biners about 60 feet up.

Location

Walk around the corner from Flying Frog to a large right-angling dihedral.

Protection

Trad. Fixed hex and sling with biner at the top.
