Trip Report

We started up the trail at 7:20 AM excited for the day ahead! Several in the group were first timers up Diamond Peak, so it was a special day! Temperatures were only in the 70’s, but above tree line and in full sun, we were breaking a few extra times in order to make sure we were all well hydrated. There was plenty of snow melt during the warm temps in the couple of weeks prior to our climb, so more rock on the ridge going up, made for a bit more tedious climbing. Our group reached the summit at 12:00 noon. We enjoyed a lunch break, homemade chocolate cookies, and a beautiful 360 degree view, before glissading down the bowl! OH WHAT FUN. We got back to the cars at 5:30, and everyone got a summit sticker! This was absolutely the best group I’ve ever taken up a mountain! Strong, capable, and fun!
