THE DIAMOND : Yellow Wall to Table Ledge with Mark Richey ~ July 1975(10) images

Seeing the Diamond while hiking the Keyhole Route the year before fired up my desire to get on this wall. Mark and I were just getting started on our two month road trip. The cliff was wet and did our best to stay dry, but by the time we got to table ledge, all the vertical possibilities to the top were running with lots of water. So ... we traversed off. We also did the Northcutt Carter on Hallets and the Petit Grepon.
