Access Issue: 2018 Seasonal Raptor Closure: Upper pitches of the Diamond
Details
2018 Seasonal Raptor Closure at Index through July 15: Climbers should observer a voluntary closure on pitches 4 and above of Centerfold to Hell Bent For Glory for the peregrine falcon nesting season.
Each year, Washington Climbers Coalition partners with WA State Parks and WA DFW to monitor the Index Town Walls for nesting raptors. When hiking or climbing outside this closure buffer, avoid disturbance, keep noise to a minimum, and use your best judgment to gauge and mitigate your impact.

Description [Suggest Change]
The bolted dihedral left of Sagitarius and Iron Horse. Starts out with a SUPER technical crux using horribly small gastons, pinscars and smears for opposition. All the campusing power in the world won't get you off the ground on this thing. The body tension/insecurity fest continues to another crux pulling the first roof, then eases for a bit of very fun 10/11ish face climbing until the final crux, involving shallow locks and high steps through a small roof. Amazing!
Amandla, the 13b/c arete climb, follows Numbah 10 for the first 5 bolts, then breaks right.
I gave this a generic "5.12." The books give it 12b, which is a laughable sandbag; Index is burly, for sure. I'm not suggesting a rating change above because: a) I haven't redpointed it and b) who cares? But if your ego hurts after this one, just remember how much fun the route is and that it would be a 5.12c or d anywhere else.

12 bolts to anchors. Stick clip the second bolt if you like your face and ankles.
Stiff shoes and the ability to stand on your pinky toes will be key ingredients in sending. Jul 11, 2012

The key move to enter the flare appears effortless when deftly performed yet can feel dang impossible in low-friction conditions. Excellent climbing in the flare above builds to a a move or two over the small roof and a much-needed breather. Some of the best face climbing on the LTW follows, leading to a finicky move or two before the chains. Feb 28, 2015
