Description

Climb mostly vertical to slightly overhanging jugs at the start and then it slabs out until a nice ledge before a bulge. I clipped the loose expansion bolt, but would not want to whip, unfortunately it is the only thing protecting the cruxier up bulge before the anchor.

Location

Left most of the obvious lines at the Diamond Cave main wall.

Protection

4 or 5 threads (that looked new as of Jan 2024) and 1 older bolt.

[Hide Comment] Both guidebooks I consulted gave this a 6b+ (5.10d) rating. I thought it was more like 10a at the upper bulge for two or three moves.

As of Jan 20, 2024 the expansion bolt before the anchor was loose, but didn't appear rusted, yet I would not want to take a big fall on it. Jan 20, 2024
