Im about to go nuts when I am looking for a climb, I get real near then the guide book spits out somthing like "then face the oddly obteseused dihedral". What does a diherbral mean? I am about to go nuts.
Thanks,
Philip

All right thanks, so... Like a small bolder shaped like that? Or the cliff shaped like that? On one climb we found that was said "face the dehybrail" it was shaped like a odd L like that....

it is an angle much like > or ^ or > on the cliff itself, two slabs of rock come togeather making an angle, think stemming!

climbing a dihedral is like climbing an inside corner, or climbing the inside of an open book.

an arete is an outside corner, or the spine of an open book.

of course i don't know what a diherbral is but i probably have some pothead friends who do...

and i really don't know what a dehybrail is, maybe a combination of brail and something else?

Could your pothead friends explain to the rest of us how you go about obteseusing something? It sounds hot.

it is either hot or wak. it depends whether or not you think it broke your back.
