Walk into the dark room/cave under the steeply overhung roof. Follow the obvious line of holds down to the base where you will find the most perfect "brick" starting hold. Match here, and make several tough moves past slots, crimps, and rails. Gain the huge overhead pinch/chunk/jug feature and match. Break out left with a huge move to a good pinch and work a foot out to the right. Power out of the roof to good holds for the mantle.

Hawksong

Blackhawk Down

Blackhawk

A tougher few moves into the "Hawksong" exit. 

  Further into the dark "cave" under the steep roof. Find the large chunk for a compression start, which is over the perfect huge jug feet lower on the roof. 

  Start with a left hand side-pulling a nice crimp rail, and with your right pinching the right side of the compression block/chunk. Make a large move to the right to compress a juggy pinch (park of Hawksong). Manage a three-point match/bike on the starting chunk (left hand, both feet) and fall out to the jugs on Hawksong. Finish as per.

The obvious sit-start to "Blackhawk"(V7) 

  Sit start on the deep, low, huge jug that serves at the starting foot ledge for the stand.  

  This would get 4 stars if it weren't quite so cramped. Use a thin pad, or go without. Luckily the moves leading up do not feel dabby or uncomfortable despite the closeness of the slab below. 

  Off the start, reach up to a very thin crimp edge at the base of the compression chunk overhead. Lock off and move into the higher compression start as per "Blackhawk"(V7). Finish as per.

Super steep and loaded with perfect holds. The rock here is a beautiful orange with iron bubbles in patches. Bring a few pads, the landing is rocky!
