I've known a few people who have done it. Nuthin special. Bad rivets? Too many? Not on the top of any short list.

I soloed this route in August 05. Entertaining route. Pitches up to timbuktu rather easy. Upper pitches recquire nailing and might be A3. I disagreed with the supertopo on the ratings of some of the pitches, some were harder and some were easier. Go figure. Bring a bolt kit. Some bomber rivets and some pieces of shit; I broke one and didn't have kit, necessitating hienous hooking. Large #6 Friend-like cam is a must especially high up when you least expect it. The pin rack suggested by the supertopo is right on. Also, the route gets lots of sun, 10 am 'til dark. Bottom line, expect A3 nailing but nothing extreme, some nice exposed pitches up high, good rock abounds, great line.

Dude needs to get the hell outta this forum is what. Disgraceful display of useful beta.
Actually I was thinking about putting this route on the shortlist the other day. Looks like with a TacoTopo out for it kids are lining up.

PTPP is up on Dihedral right now. When he finishes, he'll give you beta on NNL. He liked the party-harty aspect of Timbuktu Tower.
His take on the descent was to rap Lurking Fear, not walk all the way to the East Ledges.

Ay. Cybele and I just got down off of Dihedral - the real Dihedral Wall. We topped out on Thanksgiving, then did full-on Adventure Climbing to the summit, rapped back down to Thanksgiving via our "homemade anchors" [ain't no bolts up there!] and then another adventure descent of Lurking Fear. We rapped the whole damn Captain top to bottom!
Photos and trip report and editorial to follow.
Drop me an email at the one I use to log on here, and I can send you a scan of my Dr. Piton Super-Duper Beta for NNL.
