Black Tide

"Black Tide" ascends the prominent black water streak on the right side of the Left Flank, between "B-line" and "Espresso." Positive holds lead to a lower angle section at mid-height. Pockets and small edges on the steep black flake lead to a horizontal and stemming to reach the 2-ring Fixe anchor on the right wall. While it's not unusual to see a climber trying to stem/chimney the crease between the Left Flank and the Java Wall, the best line ascends the black streak on the face left of the crease.

"Black Tide" follows the prominent black water streak on the right side of the Left Flank between "B-line" and "Espresso."
