The Diamond Area Rock Climbing

Three approaches, from the west, from directly below, and from the east. 

1) West: From the top of the Upper Wall trail (near base of Waterway, Green Drag On), follow the trail right along the base of the Cheeks. Cross the gully to the Diamond.

2) Directly below. From town, hike up to Duck Wall at Lookout Point, then continue up the gully on the left (west) side of Duck. This gully generally has water rushing down until mid-summer, but one can skirt along its right edge at the bottom, then cross to the left side midway up. In 2017, Derek P added a fixed line to help keep you stable on the wet rock steps.

3) East. Do a route to the top of Duck or Lookout Point (or take the LOP gully on its east edge). From the top, walk back into the forest and trend west.  

Early in spring when the gully is full of water, routes 1) and 3) are probably best for the Diamond; otherwise taking the gully in 2) is fastest.
