Description
This route is named for its position in the amphitheater and the dendritic/branching options.
Start on the platform just left of the bent pine tree. Climb the 5.3 ramps (staying right of the first bolt for
Dine-o-mite
) 15 feet to the first bolt. Continue up another 15 feet to the small roof. There is one good hand hold in reach above the roof. Find a way to pull through and up to a solid stance above, 5.10a. This sequence may be harder with a shorter reach. Good 5.9 face climbing above can be eased by stemming a foot back to the corner. When the bolts transition onto the right wall, the 'easy' route (5.9) stays
left
of the bolts up high into the corner. Get high enough to use the horizontal crack in the roof with your hands, then walk your feet right across the face. Pull around the corner, and finish up to the two bolt anchor.
A more direct line 2 feet
right
of the bolts under the roof goes up the small corners and thin cracks at 5.10c.
A TR variation starting a bit lower climbs the small, hanging dihedral for 15 feet (5.11a) before rejoining the standard line.
Location
Dinedrite is the right most route in the Dines Amphitheater. It starts from the constructed belay platform 20 feet past the huge tree. The start is shared with
Dine-o-mite
.
Protection
12 bolts and a 2 bolt/chain anchor.
