Diamonds and Rust

Description

Diamonds and Rust is a new sport route on the big shelf left of Heterohedral. Start about 10' right of

Edge of Reality

and 20' left of

Heterohedral

. This is the same start as

Night Moves

.

Step up and clip a bolt on the right, and traverse right to a right-facing corner. Climb the corner to a ledge at its top. Climb a tricky slab past an overlap (crux), and continue straight up to the anchor.

Location

The route starts on a big shelf about 20' left of

Heterohedral

and 10' right of

Edge of Reality

. This is the same start as for

Night Moves

.

To get there from the main Bihedral area, traverse left on the narrow exposed ledge past

Dan's Line

and

Group Therapy

. Be very careful. Not a good approach for kids or pets. A safer approach can be made by coming up from the

Left Side

area, but this is a long way from the main Bihedral area.

An anchor has been installed on the right side of the shelf, so you can do a diagonal rappel back to the main Bihedral area instead of reversing the exposed traverse; see ??.

Protection

9 bolts to a 2-bolt anchor with lowering hooks.
