7 pitches, 800 vertical ft, 4 long rappels, 10 miles of hiking, 12.5 hours car-to-car. Just getting all the way out to Wallface — NY’s biggest backcountry wall — is an adventure. Revisiting The Diagonal (5.8) made for an awesome #Sendtember Monday. It’s hard to beat that wilderness exposure. ⛰️

Big thanks to Casey for joining me on this scouting mission. It was fun dialing in those systems! 🧗‍♀️
