Climbers on Casual Route, Forrest Finish, Black Dagger, and Soma. This shot is taken from the Camel Slide descent. My wife took the photo, me and my partner are the Black Dagger team. George Lowe is the climber in white on Soma.

It's been awhile since I've posted a photo, but here goes...
This is my good buddy John on the Yellow Wall Bivy Ledge.
I just got back from spending 5 weeks in Estes Park--so much great climbing...
The Diamond is a beaut, no doubt. However, the North Chimney (the entry route for the Diamond) is a real pile of sh!t.
Definitely a must do wall for any alpine rock climber.

This thread needs some additions.
The Diamond is amazing!

Certainly one of the best alpine "crags" in the world. Great climbing, location and history, but probably to short for the "face" designation.

Ron,
Got back a few days ago. I'll be going to RRR- perhaps we can hook- not in the biblical sense that is.

Truly an amazing place to climb. Finished the Casual Route in a rainstorm last year, the crux pitch was terrifying. Did Pervertical this year (thanks Ron) in perfect temps and had a blast.
Anybody been on Black Dagger?
N. Chimney at Dawn
Sheets of golden granite
Chilling on the Mitten
Crux on Pervertical. Looks slabby! Not so...
Halfway up the OW pitch.
Table Ledge at last.
Rounding the corner
Summit glory!

The Diamond should have a permanent front page slot, seriously.

I would like to do it some time but have knee issues on long approaches/descents. How long does it take to approach from the car (a regular walk NOT really hoofing it type of walk)?

Approximately 5 hours by headlamp to the North Chimney for this 60 y.o.
YMMV
