Start with a left trending ramp and continue up the wall past a tree to a belay on a grassy bench. Climb a slab all the way to the top. A belay can be made using cracks in an outcrop. Expect some debris on the route.

Hornets In Hot Pursuit

From the top of Lost World, traverse left to a belay ledge. (anchors) Follow the slab above to a crack system and the top. Belay at madrone tree.

From the anchors climb a slab, then up to foot ledges, and follow a narrow water streak. (3 bolts) The rest of the way is easier protected by gear and one bolt to the anchor chains.

This is probably the best route on the wall. Start with a diagonal crack going over a short bulge. Follow bolts and a fixed piton up to a broken section. Angle up to a crack system; then as the rock gets steeper, three bolts protect the crux section. Same anchors as Revelation.

Climb the bolt line up the water streak to a ledge for a belay. Climb right, ascending a flake and then up a short black corner. Another 20 feet will reach a ledge with anchors. Rap to the anchors at the beginning of Tribulation.

Climb 30 feet up slab to the first bolt, then follow the bolts on the water streak to the anchor

The lower part can be wet until later summer. Follow the bolt line, clipping the last bolt of Revelation then to a belay ledge with rap rings (installed April 2020). Continue on to Upper Abyss (mixed) by climbing up the vertical crack in black rock.

Follow the bolt line up black rock to parallel cracks. Climb a 15 foot face and then up to a good ledge on the left. Above the ledge, climb on a slab, making a short traverse right and up over a lip. Continue up connecting with route 7 (Tribulation) and a final bolt.

This climb is located on the far left (west) and forested side of the base of Black Wall. This route has not been climbed in many years and requires bolt inspection, vegetation removal and general cleaning before climbing.
