This is a fun route that has all the business at the bottom. Crimp past the first two bolts at the bottom, and then enjoy the remaining four bolts to the top. 

  If you head too far left at the bottom the grade drops to 5.10+.

This is the corner on the right-hand side of the upper Black Corridor (when facing Rebel w/o a Pause).  Ascend the corner (sandbag at 5.9), then step right w/ difficulty.

This fun little route is the last one on your right when facing Rebel w/o a Pause and climbs past a very obvious crescent-shaped hold.  The first clip is tough.

I love this route and IMHO is one of the better routes in the corridor.  The crux bottom is tough small crimpers and really cool 5.10 terrain for a long ways until one last thin crux again at the top!

Perhaps the best route in the Black Corridor - it is the obvious line that sits at the mouth of the upper section.  It begins on a terrace then climbs up steep, heavily-chalked huecos.

This is a really fun climb that gets easier the higher you go. The crux involves a balancy corner about a third of the way up, and right below a small roofed edge. 

  The numeric name comes from the fact that it is a 7 bolt 5.7, and a section of a 2x4 plank was used to assist in the anchoring while the route was bolted. 

  **Note: One concern is that the anchors are set back behind the top of the climb, creating a lot of friction on the rope as you lower off. For very small climbers (kids) it can be almost impossible to get enough weight on the rope to get them back to the ground, resulting in some forceful down climbing.  As there are already numerous links on the chains above, the only likely solution would be to add another anchor bolt below the current anchors to reduce the rope drag.

This is on the right wall, two routes right of Rebal w/o a Pause.  Climbs past 4 bolts to anchors under a  ceiling.  Decent route

This is the upper level of the Black Corridor, separated from the lower level by a pile of boulders and an easy scramble.  

  These routes are on the right side, as viewed from the pile of boulders looking towards Rebel Without a Pause.
