Crux moves up a crack at the start lead to an easy right-facing corner/ramp, then fun, steep moves with good holds at the top.

Blackhawk Arete

On the right side of the N.E. face follow four bolts up the obvious arete. Pulling directly past the overhang at the bottom is 5.10b; this can be easily avoided ny climbing the bottom of Panamint Annie and stepping back left onto the arete, making the route 5.8 or 5.9. The rock on the arete itself is very nice smooth granite.

A few moves up a right-facing corner off the ground leads to the base of a slab with one bolt. Crux moves past the bolt lead to easier climbing following a thin crack to the top.

The guide calls this route 5.10b; it seemed a little easier than that.

Great rock and good moves make this probably the best route on the crag.

Starts in a recessed area and pulls a small roof down low before transitioning into a lower angled left-facing corner.

A thin hand crack down low leads into a low angled right-facing corner.

A vertical hand crack leads to a Y at two-thirds height with two cracks above; finish in either the left or right crack at roughly the same difficulty.

A striking right-leaning thin/tips crack that splits a shield of clean rock.

Short but technical and demanding.
