The Diving Board 5.11b, 125m

100a) The Diving Board ***5.11b, 125m.Andy Genereux July, 2008.This is an excellent climb that follows a series of cracks to the left of the route Pangolin on the East End. There is excellent position and exposure from this steep route. It was established mostly top down affair due to the extensive amounts of cleaning required to remove bad rock allowing this route to be climbed and not die trying. A total of 24 hours was needed over three days to complete the necessary cleaning and scaling removing thousands of pounds of bad rock and dirt. What was eventually left behind should rapidly become a classic, due the the consistently graded 5.10 and low 5.11 and quality climbing afforded by this route. The climb was lead via rope soloing on the fourth day of effort. All belays are bolted with two ring bolts. All of the pitches take a variety of clean gear in addition to the minimal bolting. With double ropes it is possible to combine pitches 2 &3 and pitches 4 & 5 to do this route in as little as three pitches.
