ydpl8s asked:
Tarbuster, that dihedral on Matterhorn Peak (assuming the CA one) looks like so much fun, what's it called and rated?
Yes, Matterhorn Peak North Arete. Northern Yosemite out of Bridgeport adjacent to the Sawtooth Ridge. 5.7
Sometimes when I post this photo, I make a false slip and say it's the enduro corner on Astroman. heh.
Though it's late 90s in the photograph, note the Robbins boots for approach, climb and descent, 8.6 mm rope, rack of nuts.

Partition is an honest 9. the minus thing is just not being brave enough to buck the system and call the shots fair.. YMMV obviously.......

Triple S at Seneca, as Alan mentioned. It's much less chossy than it looks and an excellent climb!
Though, all the pictures from out west makes me sad to be stuck on the east coast :( You guys win when it comes to dihedrals. And cracks. And tall pieces of rock. And towers. And mountains. Ok, just climbing in general.

Seneca is a bit like a desert tower. So cool.

The Adirondack stuff is actually looking pretty sweet.
Elusive stuff for those of us out West!

I think that was my (google-based) translation as well :) Amazing place & that face (Sourloti) is stunning. Unfortunately only one trip to date marred by much rain
EDIT IN:
Tarbuster - thank you very much. What a GREAT thread that is!! An out of this world place, man I'd love to go back someday.

Tar - The Romantic Warrior story is short, it kicked my ass. I fudged leading the first 5.12 pitch (the pitch in the pic up thread) and decided if I couldn't do that one clean may as well go down and do something else since there are 2 more 5.12's and a 5.11++ higher up. It was quite difficult even on toprope before heading down... That pitch is really tough, very technical, tedious pro in spots, very obtuse sequential stemming and very few locks... I'd love to go back and try again someday if I had the time, fitness and body durability ;-)

*BrassNuts: even given your esteemed capabilities, that's about what I'd imagine per Romantic Warrior. That thing has a burly wrap sheet.

Man, so many great routes. Now I'm old and falling to pieces. Maybe if I sail around the Horn I can regain my stature...
One day I followed some buds over to Middle Cathedral and we were ticking off the routes. I absolutely could not figure out Bircheff Williams to much heckling from below.
I hate getting heckled, but it happened a lot.
Devils Tower is nothing but dihedrals, There is a route every ten feet.
