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....

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.
