The Dirty Boulevard

The Dirty Boulevard starts in the route

Dihedral

, and after 20 feet shifts leftward to an arête, passes through a small roof, and finishes on a sharp arête below the chains. While TDB was named for an old Lou Reed tune, it was very dirty when first run on TR. I would concur with Leo that the initial dihedral had seen little or no action prior to their ascent. In fact, much of the dihedral itself was still choked with vegetation that was removed and the corner brushed. But for the opening 20 feet, every effort was made to keep TDB fully independent of

Dihedral

. Nonetheless, they do share the opening moves. The rock quality on TDB is largely excellent and well featured throughout.
