Dihedron is intense. My first go at the lead was plagued by nerves. For good reason it turns out. I fell and pulled 3 of the 5 pieces I had in! Thank you small-ass BD stopper. I'll try again soon. Some photos from Greg Epperson, and more from Robert Miramontes in the slideshow above.

Nice pics- It would be cool if you dispensed of this climb so you could pursue greater things... http://www.lindarose.com/art-handmodel.asp
I'm really happy you're wearing a helmet (I don't think I've ever seen you in one before?), but God, you look like such a dork in those Dihedron pictures.
and in that glove. How are your prosthetic balls?
John, to be fair I think he still has one natural ball. The ball in question must be shriveling up though because that helmet sure is big.
I don't have a problem with the gloves. The helmet is dorky but okay. What I do think is totally f#$%ed are the pads at the base! When did Joshua Tree turn into some English pansy crag? This is not Grit stone man! Save the pads for when you are not climbing with a rope.
Hey Alan. Here's a route name for you:
Amish Rake Fight.
Email me. I don't have your address anymore.
