Atrophy Direct Start

Climb straight through the roof to do it how Craig did.

Much harder to onsight than redpoint. Weave up the face past several cruxes. Just when you think it's over, the last desparate moves up a crack to the anchors really get the forearms burning. Of course, there are "secret" holds that make things easier. But if I told you where they were, then they wouldn't be a secret, would they?

Bring your dancing shoes! and your finger strength.  This sequential, beta intensive masterpiece will have you on your toes and bearing down on tiny crimps from the first bolt to the chains.  I would describe most of the holds as heinous, but they aren't even that good.  Enjoy this Southern "Slab" every move is a gem.

Interesting boulder problem down low leads to thin climbing up top. This route was listed as 5.12D/5.13A in Dixie Cragger's Atlas but I've seen it described elsewhere as 5.12-. 

 If you've climbed or have information, please update this as I have never been past the second bolt. Just wanted to get a rough entry on here since the rest of the Dihedrals is pretty well documented.

This is a fun and challenging sport climb; the crux is between the third and fourth bolts.  Don't miss Ankles Away when you're at Fosters! 

  An interesting bit of trivia on the name of the route:  According to Arno Ilgner, Ankles Away got its name from an incident on Dihedral, a trad line just to the left.  When the leader leaned back on his gear, the piece pulled and the rest zippered; the resulting fall broke both his ankles.

Climb the meandering crack in the corner.

Climb the arete. Lots of balancy, technical moves keep this one interesting. 

  Getting to the first bolt without a stick clip can be a bit spooky if you're pushing the grade. Either crimp up the left side of the arete below the first bolt, or traverse in from the right side.

Follows a system of seams, then turns to slopers up high. The crux of the route seems to be moving from the clipping stance for the first bolt and establishing yourself on the wall.

This new route is a long slab climb that starts just right of Pillsbury in the Dihedrals area. It follows a bolted line up to a large ledge and then continues on up to the top. The hardest individual move is at the bottom, but up near the tree it can get wet and muddy, so watch out on rainy days. Surely will be a classic for the grade once it sees more traffic.

Start on great holds right of the arete. Pull through an akward roof/corner, then another small roof with moderate fun to follow. Stick clip is a wise choice, crux is at the first bolt.
