Dihedral Crack cuts a clean line through the sun-baked rockfaces of Upper Falls, offering climbers a concise but satisfying trad route that tests crack technique and mental focus. This 50-foot pitch threads a hand to wide finger crack stuck precisely in a shadowed dihedral just left of the tunnel—an inviting feature that calls climbers to engage a range of jamming skills. Above the main crack, the terrain softens into easier scrambling, providing a welcome breather before topping out where the views open to the rugged Sierra Eastside landscape. The rock here is firm and textured, with enough natural friction to boost confidence on each move. Expect desert heat during midday; morning or late afternoon ascents balance shade and warmth perfectly. This route keeps protection straightforward—standard trad gear will cover the placements, and the variety of cracks encourages thoughtful anchor building. Approaching the climb involves a short hike over well-defined paths peppered with sun-baked sagebrush and rocky steps, setting the tone for an immersive desert climb experience. Whether tapping into crack climbing fundamentals or simply soaking in the expansive terrain, Dihedral Crack provides a practical and rewarding outing that blends adventure with clear, manageable logistics. Hydration and sun protection are essential as you prepare—the quiet energy of Upper Falls demands respect and readiness in equal measure.
