Description:

My favorite Diamond climb. Sustained 10+/11- on top 3 pitches. Climb the first three pitches of Yellow Wall or D7 to Crossover Ledge. P4) From the right side of Cr. Ledge climb up to the gaping slot. Climb the slot or face climb around it. Continue on beautiful splitters to a ledge. P5) More nice splitters to a belay at the base of the B.D. chimney. P6) Stem the chimney and escape right on wild climbing. Flared cracks lead to Table Ledge. Do the D7 raps or continue to the summit.
