Robert MacKinnon leading Black Hole


Description 

Black Hole is located on Division Wall's north face, just a few feet to the right of an obvious offwidth crack. The short, fingery crux is located between the second and third bolts, followed by highway cruising on large pockets and edges. All clips can be made from bomber stances, making this route a good choice for aspiring 5.10 leaders.


Protection 

Five bolts lead to a two-bolt, chained anchor.

Ken are you kidding? I think you like to hear yourself arugue. That route is SO greasy, are YOU sure you are talking about the same climb?

How do you equate my opinion that the route didn't feel greasy with arguing? The crimps at the crux are nice and crisp, and the big holds above aren't bad at all. And, yes, I am talking about the correct route.

Although I only gave it one star, I didn't think it was very greasy compared to other 5.10's at American Fork.

Getting greasier, but still a good route. The bolts are a bit spaced towards the top.

I loved it but compared to some ratings in big cottonwood I think its a 5.9+ ten is stretching it and IM a 5.10 climber , but it is very greasy.
