Pics/Info on the Diamond (Bear Mtn.)

[Sol]

Howdy folks, i'm looking for any pics or info people might have on the Diamond route on Bear Mtn. I kind of assume it is unrepeated, any attempts? Any info appreciated, thanks.

Unrepeated. Talk to Craig... Pete and him discussed it a few summers ago while putting up some new routes in the Enchantments.

 

Apparently lots of Pete's gear is still up there...?

They spent a long time up there getting ready to climb it and I think had a hard time on the wall. I think they were really desperate to get off the wall when they did. They ended up leaving a bunch of crap behind when they topped out in a snow storm. Couple of ropes got stuck, left hammock behind on wall, ditched some crap in a cave way up the wall, etc. I'm sure its all been ripped off the wall by now. That thing would be scarry to stand under, lots of rock fall. Loose overhanging rock.

 

Would sure be impressive if someone else climbed it though.

They spent lots of time planning it. They didn't just walk up their one day and send. I think they spent about a month getting ready for it and maybe a week on route.

 

I would think that you would want to climb a route next to it first to get a good look and feel of the climb.
