Diamond Creek

Upper falls is a larger Coastal Range drop with a nice ocean view at the R2 station.

The most direct approach to Diamond Creek appears to be via Miami Creek Road (aka Frank Crane Rd), although this appears to be gated out at the Miami-Foley Rd. Because of a lot of logging road driving into and out of the Miami River drainage, this is a minimum of 3 hour drive from Portland. The road up to the parking on upper Diamond Creek is not great at the best of times. Park at 45.609698°, -123.807365° at a pulloff on either side of the road. Walk uphill on the road until it parallels the creek (you can see it from the road). Drop the minimal elevation down to the creek and walk it downstream ~1100' to R1.

R1: 50', anchor is a tree DCL. Descend the drop into a crack and traverse the crack. Hug DCL and go over a small ledge to a landing just out of the flow DCL. The pull could be iffy but we had no issues. R2: 200', anchor is a new bolt DCL. A 200' rope was just short but it's a safe and easy downclimb from the end of the rap. Exit creek DCR and parallel it just above. Drop back in when feasible and close to the top of R3. R3: 40', anchor is a tree DCL. R4: 60', anchor is a slung rock DCR.
