Ears Between, III, 5.7

5th Pitch- 45m- 5.7/ By far the fun/crux pitch of the route. Start up easy moves in the chimney and then it gets a little sparse. Walk your #4 up in a crack on the right as you dissect the middle of the chimney and move out of it left just for a second, then back in on an awkward runnel of sorts. Hump over this section to easier ground again with a small ledge to the right (30m) and continue up steep ground with positive holds and a few good nut placements later, top out on a col between the ears!

Re: Joli !

in simple terms we call this a chimney pitch, you move in and out of it, placing gear on either side as you ascend. We use dihedral, but not dihedron (diedre) in climbing slang. Cheers.

Re: Joli !

Merci pour la leçon ;o)
"Dièdre" is the French word for it.

Re: Joli !

I guess Dièdre is Dihedral and Chimney sounds like "Cheminée". We would need to climb together to find out ! :o)
