Closed March 15 through June 30 MORE INFO >>> Black Rocks is in the Red Cliffs Desert Reserve. No climbing is allowed at Black Rocks from March 15 through June 30 in order to provide an undisturbed environment for Desert Tortoise mating. In addition, all pets in the Reserve must be kept on a leash at all times. This information is a public crowdsourcing effort between the Access Fund, and Mountain Project. You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates. Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

Start up the slabby opening bit, clipping the first bolt on the way. Stand up as it steepens and clip the second bolt. Find some obvious holds, and work out how to get past the blankness to the tantalizing, obvious hold above.

After figuring it out, enjoy the pockets to the top.

Location 

Immediately left of Keystone Arete, climbs the face between that route and the dihedral to the left.

Keystone Arete is a ways left of where the trail meets the Sunny Side wall; it's fairly distinct because of the bulging overhang with a sloping shelf below it.

(Just look at the picture.)

Note that this route doesn't appear in the Goss guidebook.

Protection 

5 bolts, chains (shared with Keystone Arete, to the right).
