Ascents in Diamond Falls

Great route to end the day. Feels possible.

Wow, what a pumper, like a longer better version of Jaws. Love it, definitely coming back to lead this underclinging madness, well bolted, and spicy!

7 shots projecting. It will go soon.

Would have been more fun if I could feel the holds, but my hands were frozen , bloody hard 21

Pumpy! I need to get better at endurance route.

Very cool moves

Super fun and pretty cruisy in today's fantastic conditions!! Fun edge pulling broken up by plenty of big jugs! Bailed after this as it was arctic and main wall was being attacked by a waterfall.

An awesome warm up that felt to be about the same grade as You Crazy Diamond. Super fun excursion that covers a lot of ground and a lot of varied climbing.

Felt a tad harder and better as a warm up today. Great route.

Somewhat unimpressed by this. Really struggled with the reach on the crux. Best effort i stuck the move but couldn't change my position afterwards.

Super duper impressed by this. Really loved it! Got all the moves without too much trouble so hopefully it will just be a matter of getting through the crux and then holding on for the ride. Definitely taking the top spot on my hardish projects priority list.

A weird three shots of forwards and backwards progress as the conditions and my skin deteriorated. Made some good links though and am psyched to go back and finish it off!

Great morning out with Haz. Fantastic route that should be done more frequently!! The top half is an awesome corner and intimidating roof which is wildly cool. Fairly straight forward with bolts where you need them and generally good gear throughout. Stick clipping the first bolt is kinda hard but very recommended; it is much easier if you pull on and stem off the tree to do it - the shale is scary. We had some doubles in medium cams which was pretty nice.

Good links, shite conditions, can do the first move again. Great climbing, bad bolts, lots of poor gluing. Could use a facelift. (3)

Not a bad rock climb. Did some moves, took some falls. Will go back. (2)

Had some good links and sussed some good beta. Would be nice to send this one day. (3)

Progress was made. High points came and went and the linkage was good, but still the one hang eludes me (3).

Small refinements and getting ever closer. I'm not looking forward to punting the last move though... (3)

I kept my word and fell off the last move, and then I didn't. Two exploratory laps, four equipping/warm-up laps, and eight red point burns. Psyched!!

Just the standard warm up to half height.

Didn’t love this. Found the start wet boulder unpleasant and didn’t quite do it, then no dramas with anything up to the top where i had a play and then just came down. Maybe if I can be bothered suffering on the opening moves I could be interested, but probably not.

This on the other hand is really rad. I only went up to just after the traverse left and managed everything without too many issues except for the dive out right off of the shocking mingers. Much more psyched to try and work this out.

Standard warm up scenes, except that i didn’t warm up at all because it was about negative 12 until the sun came out, when it improved to negative 6. Note to self; don’t ever come to DF in winter before the sun is on the wall, you will suffer.

Two goes up to the crux right hand throw which i didn’t quite do, but I think maybe I can, who knows. Gotta get stronger!! Rad route! (x2)

This is a poor warm up. Nearly nearly did the low crux move but not quite, tickled the right hand almost jug. She's 'ard. (x2)

From the ground to the throw left which I latched but then let go of because I was surprised I even got that far. Cool.

Heaps of crux progress, came so sooo close to sticking the move a whole bunch of times, just need to grow three centimetres or so, or get a bit stronger. Had one fun link from the ground to the throw which was cool. (x2)

End of day. Off at the crux

Warm-up/draw hanging for Liz.

Turns out the beta Lee said would work but I discounted does in fact work. Still haven't stuck the right hand throw but it is coming together (I think?). (x2)

Standard warm up/draw hanging scenes in the rain. Can still go from jug to jug through the crux comfortably which is nice.

Finalllly gave it ago. Took quite a scary fall off the clipping hold at the end of the crux because it was wet. Didn't go all the way to the top, also because it was wet.

Warm up scenes to half way and to get the draws on Mr L.

Well I did the moves on my first go, so I suppose I should try and do it then? Thanks Kat for Matt’s beta! (x3)
