Welcome to the New Mexico section of Mountain Project!
The contributions that are made to this site are greatly appreciated; this site is made up of an awesome community of users that make the site what it is.
Although there is very little information regarding “rules” for submitting climbing areas and routes to this site, the New Mexico Administers all agree that the following guidelines may be helpful to truly make this site go “Beyond the Guidebook”.
1) Don’t be a jerk (this one states the obvious). 2) Route and area submissions should truly be helpful to those out climbing. Before posting, you should have some first hand experience actually climbing the route. This always results in a much more useful description. 3) Please, please, please… Don’t copy route descriptions directly out of guidebooks, online publications, etc. This is plagiarism! Remember, BEYOND the guidebook! 4) Please use the spell check and make an effort to use correct grammar.
Again, the Mountainproject community truly appreciates the efforts taken to make good route descriptions. If you feel that a route or area description is not up to standard, a brief email to one of the area admins for suggestions on improvement will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for taking the time to make the New Mexico section of Mountain Project quality! We look forward to seeing you out there!

Description
Cruise up the block to an intimidating bulge with a convenient bolt. A reachy move goes past this (look for the feet), find pro in the thin hands crack behind. Clip an optional bolt out to the left (part of the Dirty Black Nightmare start), and gain a good rest below a thinner crux in the namesake black streak and a well-placed bolt. Climb up more with interesting face moves and small knobs and edges with bolts and enough diagonally cracks for pro. Set a belay when the angle eases.
The next step after Clean Green Dream. Black Streak has bolts in great places on all the 5.10 sections- don't be afraid of the TP reputation. This is a great "1st 5.10" at TP. Any FA/historical info is welcome.
Location
Same start as 'Clean Green Dream', Black Streak begins up a block below a bulge toward the right side of Mosaic Wall. The namesake black streak is apparent. A couple of pleasant granite boulders are at the base. To descend: traverse to the Bienvenidos 2 bolt anchor and rap with a single rope, or walk off farther to the east.
Protection
Mostly draws, but you'll want nuts and mid-size cams (0.6" to 1.5", nothing bigger than #2 camalot, except maybe for anchor). 4 or 5 bolts..
