Black Crack

A short traversing route that was first climbed in the early years by the Flagstaff Old School and has since been neglected.  Start just right of The Impossible Problem at a low angle crack and climb to a small ledge beneath a large roof.  Traverse left and up an easy slab with good protection for approximately 17 ft to the base of a vertical finger crack. Climb 20 ft of challenging 5.9 finger to hand crack up to a good stance.  This ones sharp, so taping is recommended.  Rappel from a 2 bolt chain anchor.

Down and around the corner to the north from the Twilight Zone alcove is a large rounded and bulging overhang.  On the right side is a smaller bulging face with a boulder problem named The Impossible Problem

(V4) which was established in 1980 by Bob Murray.  Immediately right of this boulder problem is the low angle crack start of the climb.

Small to medium cams with doubles in 0.4 - 0.75 Camalots along with one or two # 1.0 Camalots.
