Sit-start the large sloping rail in the center of the face before pulling on and following a series of large holds leftwards to an exciting finish on slopers and a scary landing.

Deep Trouble

This is a tall and proud one that hasn't been done in a long time. Sit start matched on the low rail in the middle of the tall face. Climb up some rails and make a few big moves up until the climber reaches a terribly slopey hold, then gain a high foot or dyno up to the slot. From here the holds get slightly better and then the slopey lip can be reached and mantled. Not sure if a hold has broken on this climb or not, but it is undoubtedly hard.

Excellent rock quality on a rad 60-degree overhang with some incredible quartz streaks. This problem starts sitting down inside the deep cave at the base of two vertical rail features. The left hand is fairly large and more of a false arete/ dihedral, while the right hand is a small sloping rail found on the steep overhang. Figure out some options for feet before squeezing your way up both vertical features on the 60-degree overhang. Hit the lip and figure out how to match while avoiding the rock slab behind and mantle onto the large shelf. Once on this large shelf, the climber has the option to climb up the 20-foot V0 slab or to wimp out and drop-off.

This is a smaller sub-area that is a bit tricky to find, although it is realistically just left of "Blackjack Crack", the threshold for a quick easy approach is blocked by a few narrow corridors and a few smaller boulders.  

  This whole area seems sunken into the ground, even though it is found on the steep hillside. This location provides the area with cooler airflow in the summertime compared with most blocks found in the Blackjacks. This area has some hard technical climbs and has the potential for one or two highball climbs(30+ft).
