Diagonal Connection

Description

Diagonal Connection

follows the obvious crack system that separates

Trash Compactor

and the face of

Native Utard

. The line stays independent until the last 15 or so feet where you're forced into a rightward traverse to merge with the crack of NU (above the last bolt). Continuing along the arete seems possible in a hard and runout way.

Great pro and solid rock make this long pitch into the best warm-up on the wall.

Location

DiaCo

start on the right edge of the obvious hole/cave feature that houses

Trash Compactor

. Look for twin cracks leading up towards an ugly trough splitting the nice upper face. Stay right of that thing...

Protection

Nuts and a single set of cams from tiny to BD#2 (#3 optional). A second BD .5 was nice but gear options are plenty.
