MapDescription
The Petit Bastille, Rossiter: "this is the long, low ridge, just south of the old railroad cut/Fowler Trail, behind The Bastille." Stand in front of the Lori J Biehler bench and look East at the Petit Bastille. From the highest point, you'll see 2 obvious lines, one on the left side and one on the right. The line on the right is Two-Tone Dihedral.
Climb the right-facing dihedral, going left over the roof.
It has good pro, some loose rock, so keep your belayer off to one side, and it is overall a fun, continuous line. I'm surprised it hasn't been written up.
Descent: do an easy walkoff to the east down the scree.
Protection
Standard rack to #3 Camalot using your bigger pieces for anchor. Brown tri-cam was good at the anchors, too.
