Description

Sunny all day. Easy approach and easy routes make this area somewhat popular. Here, the South Face includes both the Southern Shorties and TRU Corner sections from Howie Richardson's guidebook.

Getting There

Take the trail just below the upper parking lot. After 5-10 minutes, you'll pass Daycare and Daycare Quickies with their short, easy climbs. Shortly after passing these crags, you'll see a path going off to the right with a sign for Diamondback. Follow that path up the hill for a couple minutes and you're there. The first routes you come to are on the South Face.
