Description 

Small boulder with a finger sized crack running through a black streak. Climb faces the road. The climb is very continuous but not very long.


Location 

Just up the road from Hear My Train boulder (~50'). Get there from a trail by Hear My Train or go to the next trail up the road from the Hear My Train exit.


Protection 

Bolted TR. Could probably lead on thin gear or solo as it is not too high. Walk around right to set up TR.

Black Finger is 5.10b since I first stepped foot on Woodson back in '81. It's sequency nature and crux account for that.

Either 10a or 10b works for me. I originally got the 10a rating from a copy of your book. Thanks, it is historically interesting.
