The Black Hole

Description 

Shady fun mixed climbs that often get overlooked; a nice warmup spot for Velvet Elvis, Cactus Massacre, Universal City, etc. Every route is fun and worth doing on a hot day. The bottom part of the cliff stays in the shade.

Getting There 

Located up and right of Mark's Beginner crag, you can get to this cliff any of ten ways-we dropped into the wash and followed the gully all the way up, which wasn't necessarily the best move-just look for the shady hole at the start of the routes, it takes about 15 minutes plus to hike from the parking lot. I found this cliff using the photo in the Brock/McMillen book.
