Description Suggest change

The rightish side of the Diamond has 3 diagonal overhangs. This route climbs through the notch in the lower overhang, and then goes right to a notch on the Braack Ridge.

This route was originally rated 5.7 A2, but goes free at 5.8+/5.9-

Location Suggest change

Start at the base of the Little Diamond directly below the left-hand side of the Flat Ledge. The first pitch was once called Corner Lieback, but the 200-pillar collapsed in the winter of 2005, tumbling train-car size boulders into the talus. The old scar is quite visible. With the corner gone, climb instead a 5.7 route called "Cornerless" up to the Flat Ledge. (#17 on topo)
