Malcolm Smith has made the first ascent of Blood Diamond (F8c+) on the Anvil, Argyll.

The route links the two existing routes of Blood Fire and Body Blow to make one of the hardest climbs on this already action packed cliff.

The Anvil (UKC Logbook Info) is a "massive free-standing boulder on the east side of Loch Goil. It is marked on 1:25000 maps as Uamh Innien, 6km south of Lochgoilhead. It is steep on three of its aspects, giving very intense climbing on good schist."
