Black Bomber

Climb the seam heading up and left to a large ledge on the left side of the wall. Traverse right on the ledge and over a bulge (crux) to reach anchors of next route.

Climb easy rock to some challenging moves on nice varnish through steeper rock. The middle route on the upper portion of the black hole (3rd from right and 3rd from left). 

Second from the Left or 4th from the right in the upper section of the black hole.  Follow easy climbing up edges to a crux near the top.  Fun.

Second from the Right in the upper tier of the Black Hole.  Easy start to a couple of challenging moves in the good varnish and a few also in the non-varnished upper section.  The longest of the routes here by a few feet.

Fun little 4 bolt sport climb, up on the higher right side of the cliff. Bolt anchor in place, it's a bit of a scramble up the chimney or around the face to get to this one from the other routes, but worth it-a nice route.

The far left route in the upper portion of The Black Hole.  Step over the abyss and climb a nice line of edges up to the anchor. 

Awesome climbing on this one-my favorite on the cliff. Mixture of bolts and gear, put it in when you can get it. Starts on varnish in the black hole right of and above the sport route. Contrary to the description in the Brock/McMillen book, there are cold shut anchors up there, but you may need a long or second rope for the rap-it's a distance.

Shady fun climbs that often get overlooked; a nice warmup spot for Velvet Elvis, Cactus Massacre, Universal City, etc. Now that Civilization Crags is in place, this will be the spot to push the grades a little after climbing a lot of soft, easy tens. These routes are well worth the time. Every route is fun and worth doing on a hot day. The bottom part of the cliff stays in the shade so even on hot days the belays are pretty cool.
