Description 

Center Route is one of the harder lines in the Black Hole and is a stellar independent line up the center of the cave (hence the name). Start as for Cytogrinder, and use either the sickenly sharp "potatoe peeler" crimper, or the pocket of cytogrinder to move to a small undercling. From here a couple of left hand moves position you for the final toss to the "deck of cards" hold at the lip. Sustained and difficult movement best describe this line, requiring both power and technique. A great testpiece for the aspiring V10 boulderer.

Couple of Pads are nice.
