Black Tornado

FA Chip Phillips, 2005

UPDATED 

Description

Begin from a stand start and reach high above your head for a seam you can obviously match in just left of the black lichen. Pull on, maybe bump your RH slightly right, then violently throw 5 feet up and right to the top of the "black tornado" streak of lichen.

A borderline-impossible-looking sit start on a jug below is obvious, but intermediates and feet to bridge the gap are sparse ... to put it mildly.

Location

Right of center on the downtrail face of the Trailside Boulder, about 5 feet right of

Downtrail Face

, and topping out above the black streak of lichen.

Protection

An Organic pad or - if you are shorter - two to reach the starting crimps.
