[Hide Comment] The pockets you see on the ground are a lot thinner once on them; steeper then it looks. Sep 11, 2015

[Hide Comment] Looks way better than it climbs! Why are the bolt hangers sideways? So far from ever being anywhere close to a 4 star route that it seems like a joke...is that it? Is this just a 25 foot satirical joke route? Sep 15, 2018

[Hide Comment] What seems to be a nice, easy warmup climb is NOT. It looks like a 5.6 or 5.7 from the ground. We got a lot of entertainment value, not from the climb, but from my comments while climbing. BELAYER: "Did you find a good hold? There's gotta be something good up there." ME: "No, it's horrible... but I didn't die." How would I describe Black Number Zero? Irritating. Once and done. Zero stars from me :-) Sep 7, 2020

[Hide Comment] Definitely deceiving from the ground. Slopey pockets, small crimps, and technical feet with occasional jugs for clipping. The crux starts slightly below the third bolt until you land a very nice juggy rail out right. A puzzler at first but once it's figured out it's a fun, flowy climb. Jun 21, 2025
