Charlie Fowler, Kathy (?), and Jim Tangen-Foster (L-to-R) after summiting D7 in 1976. It was Fowler's 1st time on the Diamond. In 1978, he free soloed the Casual Route.

I believe these parties are on D7, but not 100% sure. Picture taken from Pervertical (I think).<br>

Emann catching that refreshing breeze a little more than 1/2 way up.

Ice blowing on 02/17/22.

Starting out on pitch 4. (guidebook pitch 4. 10c.)

Looking down on pitch 2 from Crossover Ledge. Pitch 3 of D7 continues up off left side of ledge, but we were continuing onto Black Dagger which continues up off the right side of ledge (if you're wondering what's with the cams, I ran out of slings...).

Guy making his way up the crux pitch - he's almost to the midway ledge which some use as an intermediate belay. Save a 0.75 Camalot for the belay to avoid this uncomfortable one off to the side.

Looking down on our pitch 2 - guidebook pitch 3. Pitches 1-3 can be combined into 2 long pitches if each leader stretches the rope.

The steep P3 of D7....

George Squibb on the 5.11c/d crux of D7 on the Diamond.

Pitch 4. The 11c crux pitch.

Pitch 5.

Pitch 3 of D7 goes up the shallow right-facing corner on the right side of the photo. The corner on the left is the D7 Variation.

Pitch 1. The best way to identify this pitch is to look for the corner with enough pins to make you feel you could climb it with just a rack of draws!

The topout of any Diamond route has primo scenery.
