Jonny leading Black Track on a hot summer day. It ...


Description 

Black Track is the obvious right leaning crack that goes up the middle of Hidden Falls Wall. The climb is well protected but is a bit off-width in places and can be a little clumsy. Otherwise, the climb is an excellent workout on hand and fist crack. When done, rappel the route with one rope. A short second pitch with two bolts on the face (5.11c) has also been done.


Protection 

A few medium to large nuts plus a full rack of cams up to 4 inches

An awesome crack climb for Red Rock! There are a few awkward spots, but overall the route felt pretty mellow because it is well protected. A great warm-up climb for Left Out!

Bring your old hexes -- they work as well or better than those newfangled cams on this route.
