Ascents of Rough Diamond

Liked this more than Milawa, the fallen branch at the top tore a hole on my shirt

Huge branch leaning on the climb, probably needs to be cut.

One of the carrots at the anchor could be replaced, little worn on the outside. Still used it but would be good to replace. Love these climbs 😝

Have climbed this one before, its an enjoyable puzzle, each time i seem to have a different approach unlike polished gem which myself and fellow climbing partners have all memorised the set moves prior to the slab finish.

New bolts! Very grateful thankyou.

Good. Not sure I could have done it without that flake though. Just had to tread carefully

Great Climb.

very nice. pretty hollow flake up there tho :S

Flake seems super super sketchy, I have no doubt you could pull it off with little or no effort.

Might need to bring a saw and redo this one. Mind the branch

Stayed too far left on the flake and slipped on the move to move up the gentler angled slab.

Start is easy but things get very technical around the fourth bolt (classic granite slab stuff). Top roped using the same anchor as Milawa/Polished gem/Thin Ice.

Great moves in to the second crux. Reachy, delicate but good climbing.

Varied. Better than Milawa.

Paul Lead - must stray right

Fun & varied

Thin in spots.

Didn't see the good side-pull out right post crux first go and ran out of hands. Good stemming and face climbing.
