The Black Hole shares the first pitch with the Sea of Holes but was climbed first. It is this first pitch that has the large, man-sized hueco from which this route's name is derived.
Pitch 1: Make a few chimney moves to obtain the corner above it and follow this corner system past a thin crack to the two bolt anchor. (5.9, 100 feet)
Pitch 2: Continue straight up through the obvious weakness in the roof. (5.10, 50 feet)
Location
This route is located in the second corner to the left of Topless Twins on the left side of Brass Wall.
We climbed the first pitch only, which features some sandy rock but is quite enjoyable. The books say to rap from pitch one with a pair of ropes, but we were able to stretch the rappel with a single 60 meter.

Contrary to the Brock (big red) guidebook, pitch 1 is about 90'.
