The Black Corridor is very popular due to the high concentration of routes and the fact that it is always cool. The routes range from 5.9 to 5.12a. There are six 5.9's, eleven 5.10's, seven 5.11's and one 5.12a.

Getting There
To approach the BC, follow the trail from the parking lot until it forks, take the right fork and then take next left following the trail to the wash. Walk up canyon until it turns to the left (west), at this point walk over the slickrock past several pools of water to another wash. Cross this sandy wash to another slab of slickrock. Once you are on the slickrock, turn right (east) and follow it to the entrance of the BC.
I'm looking for a route name. It is the route nearest to the step between levels on the right-hand side(if you're walking in the lower level) of the lower level. Felt like high-10 and a lot of fun. Sandy and dirty, save some juice to pull over the top!
