Partition is great. You don't have a photo of Erect Direction do you? By far my favorite in the Gunks. I guess Feast of Fools is pretty good to. Looking up at either of those makes you think "That's 5.10?". lol

Tarbuster, you've been sent to think in the corner more than a few times I see. Very nice!
Edit- Mr E, that awesome photo you posted I think is of a route named "the calling" in Squamish. I may be wrong but am pretty sure some squaminard OG will correct me if so, cheers! The photo I posted is of u wall.

Seems like tarbuster has already done the classic dihedrals and there's nothing left to look forward to, lol. It's too bad nobody climbs the good book anymore. I dont know what the danger is after the rockfall, but can't it be cleaned up? Moses was definitely the best tower I climbed. I've got to move back west asap!

Partition 5.9-, according to the guidebook authors Lawyer and Haas. I know Turner thought it was a 5.8 but in my mind that only supports the later re-grading upwards!

Yes, this thread has definitely exceeded my expectations! Wow, some great bucket list stuff on here!
Tarbuster, that dihedral on Matterhorn Peak (assuming the CA one) looks like so much fun, what's it called and rated?

Seth and Tradman,
I remember the old Mellor guide having Partition at 5.8. 5.9- doesn't seem like to far of a stretch but it's been ten years since I've done it. What was that new guide that came out for the Gunks that bumped Modern Times from 8+ to 10b? Now that was funny.

My recollection is that at the time when I first did Partition it was rated 5.7!!!!! in the Healy guide. From my memory 9- or even 9 sounds about right. Back more directly on topic---great photos. I love dihedrals, books, corners, grooves, diedres--whatever you want to call them. They are definitely some of my favorite climbs. Several classics I haven't seen mentioned on here yet are Recompense, Diedre, and the Book of Solemnity on Cathedral Ledge,NH, several pitches on both the VMCs on Cannon also in NH, the Great Dihedral on Poko in the "Dacks, Triple S on Seneca---the list goes on and on. I have lots of slides but sadly lack the ability to scan and post them---sigh.
