Details
If you are coming up, note the following:
-There are no fires allowed anywhere, including the boulder basin & group campsites.
-Please carpool, parking is limited, so if you show up and there is nowhere reasonable for you to park, you must leave. (instead of parking somewhere unreasonable).
-Bring cash to park, lots of people showing up without cash. Even if you don't camp overnight, you still must pay for day parking.
-Don't climb boulders in/ around occupied camp sites (some say ask, personally I just go somewhere else).
-Spread out a bit.

Description
This is a Black Mountain mega-classic. A gorgeous overhang with impeccable rock quality, wild gymnastic moves, an unforgettable topout... it's got it all.
The standing start begins in the middle of the wall, goes up and left, then heads back right with crazy, unlikely body English. Then continue right to the baffling sloper topout. A very memorable climb.
