Description

The Black Hole is on the hillside just north of town. Check out classics such as Helicopter and Cytogrinder. Also, any number of linkups can be made. For example, try linking up Tendonitis traverse with a problem up the black hole, or make your problem into a loop!

Getting There

Park on the South side of Morrison Rd, in Morrison at the obvious pullouts. Head east down Morrison Rd. just past where guardrails begin on the north side. Now, head up the trail strait north and the black hole is at the top. It's big, it's black, and it's a hole.

Air Loopis V8 CO : Morrison/Evergreen : ... : The Black Hole

Air Loopis is described as one of the benchmark V8's to define the grade. It is more of an endurance problem, but does pack a powerful punch right off the blocks. This is my personal favorite of Morrison. Start on the big jugs at the bottom of the hole as for Brashears Crack and traverse left to the start of Helicopter. This is the crux of the route and involves some weird leg positions and really bad hands. Once you fire through this tough se...[more] Browse More Classics in CO

I just realized today that although I tend to think of Morrison as an 'ok' place to boulder, I've given most of the problems here three stars. They really are good, although there is some contrivance and an un-aesthetic appeal to the area to a degree. It's also kinda cool bouldering and looking down on the town of Morrison and watching bikers and hikers cruise by, and being able to go get ice cream mid-session.

Agreed, Jay, The Hole has some awesome problems, many with 4-stars IMO! They just get kinda boring after you've done them all a hundred times, good training tho. We should meet up and do some laps some day, bro!
