Sit start on the far left side of the north face of the Diamond Boulder. Start as a SDS just left of

Chip Happy

(short, green route on the slightly overhanging arete), with left hand around the arete on a sloping crimp, with right hand on right side of arete on sloping crimp. Bring your left foot up just above starting lip, and put your right foot in sloping dish on the right side. Move up and right to a positive incut sidepull with right hand and then lunge for the lip.

Look at the route guide picture (North side).

It is the left, shortest, green route.

Start on the sidepull about 8 feet right of "

Pull Around This

," and work your way up with a series of crimps and akward-positioned feet and haul your body above the slight roof and top out.

I had to clean some choss out of the start, so I figured nobody has climbed it before. Also, it wasn't listed already on mtn project. If anyone knows about an FA on it, please tell me!

Look at the route guide picture (West side). It is the red route.

Move up and across through some fun pinches and hard little crimps.

Look at the route guide picture (North side).

This is the red route.

It is a very good problem. Surprisingly, there is not a lot of traffic hits for this line.

From a jug, lock off on a sidepull pocket and go up high to a gaston - pull up and to a sloper before the topout.

Look at the route guide picture (West side). This is the yellow route.

It is a cool line, make some moves out and around to the reachy crux. Try and find a spot to get your feet up high enough for that last hold.

Look at the route guide picture (North Side). This is the green route (farthest to the right in the pic).

It is one of the best, most climbed problems on this boulder. Start low in a jug and move to an undercling, up into a campusy stairway looking set of holds. Really fun!

Bring the A game, the crux is high.

Follow the SE Arete,  with your body staying on the east face, eventually pulling over onto the S face at about the 20 ft mark (crux).

It is possible to escape onto the S face earlier than that, but that would make you a coward.

Look at the route guide picture (West side).

This is the green route.

Ascend easy moves up and through some chipped holds....

Look at the route guide picture (West side). This is the blue route.

It is one of the only lines on this side of the rock that is completely untouched by the idiot chipper that tarnished the boulder.

Mr. Original has fun moves.

On the back side of Diamond Boulder or the North side, stand start on far left arete. Move right, stay low, not using the upper lip. Top out near far right arete.

Look at the route guide picture (North Side). This is the pink route.

Start on a crimp and a sidepull. Go up to a crimp, then toss into a hole/dish, and top out.

This is a good line that starts in the alcove in the east face. The starting hold is on a double-match on a triangle hold. Then moves up right to a gaston and then fires to an intermediate left dimple and then resumes to a long left-hand reach to a crimp, then up right to a horizontal pinch and then continues up crimps to top out. A 2nd version of this problem starts the same and then follows the red line on side-angled crimps out the red line (in the beta photo), once the long reach to the crimp, with the left-hand, is reached. See pics for that move. Both versions are within the same grade of V5-6 but, the traverse requires more tension. This problem, though it climbs differently(being that the feature is an opposite of a prow), will remind you of the SDS to The Prow Problem at Matthew Winters Park, outside of Morrison.

Look at the route guide picture (North side).

This is the yellow route.

Start in huge hole and pull up into the awkward pocket with your right hand. Go up and left to the dish/hole to the left, set up, and go big (a dyno for some) to a solid sloper.
