The Diamond is a large triangular feature visible from Highway 91 on the East side of the road. This vertical to gently overhanging wall is roughly 150 yards wide with a great variety of perfect gray limestone, pockets, and blocky choss. The routes range from 5.9 to 5.14b, and are 60 to 165 feet in length. First established in the early 90's, it has seen steady development up to the summer of 2025.

The routes range from 5.9 to 5.14b, and are 60 to 165 feet in length. First established in the early 90's, it has seen steady development up to the summer of 2025. The cliff faces Northwest, but has a long season, from early Spring to late Fall, with the summer months being bearable if you go early and take advantage of the morning shade that lasts until 2:30pm. Early Sring and late Fall, it is possible to climb in the sun. **Be aware that exploring any abandonded mine shafts is extremely dangerous, and if you need to be rescued, there is a high probability that it will adversly impact our continued access to this crag. From the South (Littlefield, AZ) or North (Ivins, UT) take Old Highway 91 into the Utah Hills. Turn East onto Black Warrior Mine Road near mile marker 8. This is a dirt road that is passable with a 2-wheel drive. Drive about 1.9 miles until you get to a junction with a pull out on the left. Take the road to the right. (Going straight is a 4x4 road that accesses the Gorilla and Simian cliffs.) Continue for another .2 mile until the road passes an unused gravel pit. Park here. At this point, you'll be directly under the wall. The hike is pretty much straight up from there on a well worn trail. You'll gain 850' in .6 mile. It takes about 25 minutes.
