I swearI've done this line. Is it "Jay's discovery"?

Re: I swearIt's not in the book I referenced on the Dihedrals page, whch is the book I used to list the routes here. However, I've seen all kinds of routes out here that aren't in the book. This one is the first real climb available at the downstream end of Dihedrals. Do you remember the difficulty? I was unroped and bypassed the lower section, which is harder than the upper. There was a move near the overhang that was 5.4, maybe 5.5, but after that it was much easier.

Hmmm...Can't remember the difficulty to save my life. But I'm pretty sure this route is Jay's Discovery. My brother and I soloed just about everything at Great Falls that was under 5.5/5.6 back in those days, so I remember them pretty damned well. Wish I could tell you the rating, but I can only remember low 5th class... then again, we may've snuck around the hard part!

Re: Hmmm...Thanks. I'll at least add this title to the caption, and probably mention the route on the main page, too.

Re: Hmmm...Found my '85 guidebook the other day... that's it all right. Crazy to see that again!

Re: Hmmm...Thanks again. I've added that route to the list on the page. I'd better look for a current book focused just on the area so that maybe I can get info on some other "unnamed" routes I've climbed and/or photographed.
