Description
Black Rose is a unique and enjoyable route with good pro. The route is located next to the Silver Pond and usually best reached by rigging a rap line from the ledges above, then rapping into the higher dry boulders just below the route (depending on water level). Climb up the back corner to reach the big black roof, then perform a traverse right and out under the roof. From there, follow double-cracks up to reach the ledges above.
Protection
Set of nuts, assortment of cams from small to #2 Camalot size. The rappell to the base of the route requires pro (medium to large) in the cracks above the route.
you can rig a rap off a boulder/tree combo in the wash, then rap in and slightly right to reach the base- no gear needed. its also good to have someone across the canyon to let you know when the line is down so as to avoid totally soaking your rope.
