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.

This is nearly impossible to describe, however ask anyone that climbs at Morrison and they will be able to give you a better idea. The original version starts on the left side of the Black Hole on a jug, and traverses i...[more]   Browse More Classics in CO
