Opis:
Chris and I headed up to the Diamond on 6/2/20. We climbed The Casual Route day 1, rappelled back down and on day 2 we climbed Pervertical Sanctuary. We topped out, hiked all the way back to our bivy at the base and spent the night, intending to climb D7 on day 3. We woke up to wind and a lack of psyche so we ended up hiking out to head to Denver to participate in the the ongoing protests. I was bummed not to climb D7 but it was very worth heading back early to march.
