Direct South Buttress (Mount Moran)

Leading P3 of DSB (failed attempt). I think this is the “standard 5.9 variation”. Though acc. to the topo, the standard 5.7 pitch goes right around the corner, I suspect most people end up in this dihedral as you sorta get suckered in by the clean, direct line up. Very nice pitch (Aug. 6, 2006).
