No, the Great Dihedral is bigger than this one. Edpav: Bloody Mary - yet another Turner classic. Got it. The pixels were hardly dry on this one. Edited by rg@ofmc (05/24/06 07:03 PM)

Smike Carpal Tunnel Registered: 05/01/01 Posts: 3143 Loc: in your backyard	Edpav: Bloody Mary - yet another Turner classic. Whadda route, the phase 'sustained arm melting' comes to mind.

GOclimb Pooh-Bah Registered: 03/26/01 Posts: 2345 Loc: Boston	I can't guess RG's last route, but here's another non-Gunks mini-clasic: If it's too hard to guess in B&W, I have a longer-range color photo that might give it away to anyone who's done it. GO

Including Winter-thin stemming (this is 5.9?) and thinner gear right over the belayer (please don't fall, please don't fall), before that exposed, trap-door escape hatch out to the beautiful dihedral. What a route! _________________________ Shongum ain't Indian, it's Sha-WAN-gunk.
