Note that the annual closures of the Park View Dome, The Ranch Hand, Black Creek Wall, and Sawmill Crag have been permanently lifted. These cliffs will continue to be monitored, but will only close if a new nest is spotted.
Description
Worm Hole is the steepest line in the Black Hole and at Staunton. The route stays completely dry in a rain storm but does seep down low in the Spring. Stickclip a high first bolt on the back left of the cave, and start up a steep finger crack. Work up to the tufa feature, but climb right of it on big holds to a first crux. Shake and tackle the crux roof boulder problem using kneebars. From the jug at the long, tan, chain draw, work left and join The Singularity for 3 bolts before the final crux pulling the finger crack roof problem.
