Right of a flamingo shaped bird head (you really gotta look to see it correctly). There is a wide chimney/crack to the right. Use this to stem off and up the wall in front of you. The route gets steep after pitch 1. p1:5.8, p2:5.10d Steep,but with really good bail out holds, p3:5.10d steep crimps.

P1:(5.9) Start just left of "home boys on Soy" and follow the bolts 90' to chains.

P2: (5.10)Follow the bolts up the prominent prow, 90'

P3:(5.10) Head up left trending face to a ledge.

P4:(5.10+) think shy of 5.11, its getting stout now. Follow the face that's just wonderful and crimpy with thin but fun feet to chains just below a roof.

P:5 (5.12+) didn't try this pitch.  It heads up a very slick looking shield.

P1:5.9, P2:5.11a, P3:5.8, P4:5.9, P5:11c, P6:5.11a

All of Blackleaf is limestone. This route highlights some of the chert layers. Route start about 90 feet left of the 'Fox' cave. Boulder up chert edges past a low bulge to start the route. From there follow the bolts.

P1: (5.4)Start on a flat sand bar by the creek bed. 90' to a large ledge with chains.

P:2(5.4) Follow the line of least resistance past 3 or 4 bolts to a chains on a ledge. 90'

P3: (5.7) follow up past a chossy ledge to the steeping wall to good holds. It started to get fun from here.

P4:(5.8)in 2004 Dan Clark joined the FAs to add the upper two pitches, there a bit chosey but are getting better.

P5: (5.9) just a bit harder than the 5.8 and still in the choss.

Easy start. Move straight up through bolts and incipient flake system. Crux is pulling high past a flake and onto the face.

Follow simple crimps on chert up through some balance moves. Continuous crimps are pumpy, but fun. Lots of petrified animals in this area

The route is steep, but the holds are large. The crux is 2-3 bolts up the route. Big moves make you  feel like a hero. People say soft for the grade, but maybe it is just fun.

Climb the face right of the gaping chimney. Careful on the start a fall there could be nasty. Follow the fossil embedded chert to anchors shared with Top Gun.
