Description Suggest change

The Black Jack Pot Gully has really good quality Boulders. This area was first found and developed by local Larry Schaffer. He developed many lines but most of his work has been lost. This area would see more traffic if it weren't for the trail leading down and up. It is moderate both ways. Ante Up Sd (V9) is all time Classic and testy crimp problem. Sloped Stylee V3/4, Seal Beach V5, Greg and Dave's Warm crack onto face problem is really good also the face it leads onto is high quality. ( you will know which boulder it is. It's a ways down......) Kurt Smiths Dirt Burglar V3 from Friction Addiction is also down here and is the first block...cliff... You see to your right when entering into the Black Jack pots. chuck Frybergers DVAS highball as hell block is at the very bottom of the Gulley.... MORE TRAVEL would make this a great place.

Getting There Suggest change

Head pass Orange Roughy and Head towards Black Roughy heading East. Black Roughy is situated in a small gulley. This is the small gulley that will turn into the Black Jackpot Gulley after about 5 min of hiking down.
