Routes
The cliffs at Diamond Hill average 40 to 60 feet in height. There are various
cliffs ranging from slabs to overhanging and encompass about a half mile. Unlike the
omnipresent granite throughout the
state, the rock here is a veined quartz breccia and has a bit of loose rock.
Protection
There are trees just about everywhere at the top of the cliff to set up
top-ropes, however, they are quite far back from the edge in many places
so bring long slings. Practicing leading is possible due to the many
vertical cracks that can take pro.
