Black Face Direct

V7, Boulder, 15 ft (5 m),  Avg: 3.8 from 4 votes
FA: unknown
California > Sierra Eastside > Mammoth Lakes Area > Mammoth Lakes… > Way Lake > Talladega Night… > Black Face Boulder

Description

Climb Black Face straight through the face, without using the lower left wall or the right arete. Harder than the original, but climbs beautifully through the fingerlock in the center of the face.

Any info on a FA would be appreciated. I can't be the first one to have thought of this...
