Dyzygy

Description

Dyzygy is a variation of Syzygy, though I wanted to list it separately because it creates a very enjoyable 5.10-, that has good gear at the gritstonesque crux up high and climbs through a swath of gorgeous stone.

Start as for Syzygy on a ledge 40' up. It's actually nicer just to rap to the ledge and climb out, than climbing the mega choss below the ledge. After turning the roof and pulling the facey crux of Syzygy, look up and right at a beautiful right angling crack/ seam. You could easily save a single set JUST for this section. A few off balance, smeary lay backs take you through the crux. Finish straight up.

Location

Towards the middle of the wall. Just a bit west of the Orange Out Section.

Protection

Doubles from .3 through #2 camalots, small/medium wires, and #00 is nice to have just after the conspicuous roof.
