Slab/Offwidth/Techy Dihedral: Hit me with your best/worst!!!

Post by Jt300 »

What's up trad heads/hardmen/trolls/wizards,

I'm looking to step up my all-round climbing game ever closer to mutant status :mrgreen: and wanted some input from the RRG wizards/oracles.

Learned on a recent trip to Yosemite that I need to step up my hard slab/offwidth/stemming game (got d*ckslapped/shutdown real hard, it hurt good) to get closer to accomplishing my ultimate purpose in life so my training focus for the meantime will be those.

Here thee, I ask you great RRG wizards, what does my future hold for hard slab/offwidth/stemming dihedral on future trips to the red?

(especially anything that's really technique/skill intensive, please, have mercy and bestow upon me your gracious knowledge :shock: )

Dave the Dude and Scarlet Scorchdropper fit the bill for me, but I'm no traddy or hard man.

I'm guessing Snot Rocket might work too if you are a true warrior.
efil lanrete... i enjoy the sound, but in truth i find this seductively backward idea to be quite frightening

The Quest is worth doing too, along with the other cracks at lower and middle small. Also, Headstone Surfer, a few of the routes at Slab City, and Histoplasmosis & Day-Glo at Corner Pocket...
