Pythagoras Was Not a Climber

This variation on the popular route, Diagonal, takes the other two sides of the triangle of which the Diagonal crack is the hypotenuse. Start is the same as Diagonal, up the initial slab. From there, head left and gently up about 15 feet on a good under-cling and small horizontals. A few feet before reaching the Monkey Fingers crack, from a good horizontal, head straight up. Top-out is a few feet left of the top of Diagonal, whence you can continue right along the top to the anchors. I have seen a strong climber go up a few feet further right, completing a more perfect triangle.

Start is up the initial slab of Diagonal to the ledge at the bottom of the Diagonal crack and also the bottom of The Box.

Top rope same as Diagonal.
