Satellite Dish Beta

Satellite Dish and Dragon Rock share a flat, pretty, sandy, and secluded alcove.

To get there walk west away from The Peanut (Nothing but Sunshine is on the southwest corner of The Peanut). You can also get to Satellite Dish by walking in the dry creek from The Fridge past Poot Chute.

Description

This boulder confuses me. Or it used to. In the 1990 Craig Fry guide there is a B1 (around V4+) on the left and a 5.11 (V3/4) to the right. In the 1995 "Second Edition" it says "unk" instead of B1 and 5.11* on the right. James March's 1999 Rock & Ice guide says, "Satellite Dish (V5/V6) Mantel into dish; climb face (right crack off)," and the problem to the right of that as Untitled V2.

I think a lot of people, including me, have been doing the V2 and thinking that is "Satellite Dish." But the real Satellite Dish mantels into the dish without using the crack or arete.

I talked to James March about it. I think the V4 Sat Dish and the V2 use the same start, but Sat Dish doesn't use the crack or the arete.
