Ascent Notes for: The Dihedral - 5.9 Average Rating : 4.14/5

Good gear throughout. Wide variety of moves.

This was my first go with gear, even though i didn't lead. This is defiantly the best route at minne.

love this route, I climb it whenever I can. Juggy, stemmy, then slabby.

This is really tough for a 5.9 -- or as someone said, "old school 5.8". And, yeah, "old school 5.8" would be about the rating I'd give -- otherwise known as 5.10. :)

The rock is slick/greasy in places in the lower part, where there's a lot of swing to worry about if you come off.

And, the route just keeps on working you... there's little in the way of rests, making it very pumpy and a lot of work.

Still, an awesome route and I'm glad I climbed it.

Felt a little harder than 5.9. Great Cimb though

classic

I have climbed at Minne only a few times and there is always someone on the Dihedral, I finally got to work it a few weeks ago, it's alright. A little sketchy for someone not confident with the grade just because if you let go you are going to swing into the rock to the south of it.

Just getting back into climbing, I was hangdoging this route the entire way up. Can't wait to do it again when I'm in shape!

A good upper body workout and fun variety in the route.

good pump...endurance training at it's finest
