My first time climbing on sandstone. Great rock quality. The 3rd pitch crux is one move, but there are a number of ways to pull it off.

Had to think on the third pitch crux move. First pitch was really good and sustained! I didnt think that the second pitch was run out at all. Plenty of cracks in the face for small nuts. Had to re-do the first pitch after a finger cam got placed a little too high for the follower.

Better than Lotta Balls, Dow's climber's log pretty much summarize it. The 5.6 is a bit runout and there are different cracks to the next belay stance that you can follow, I picked the one on the left which had almost no pro. The belay at the top of pitch 1 has only one bolt but there is a nice crack next to it for pro. Overall, another good day in RR.

Expecting a crowd but we had the wall to ourselves on this chilly Dec day. First pitch was great; the rest was so so. Got to listen to some drunk assholes trundle rocks further up the canyon.

Great RR intro route with Brian D. Unfortunately I got stuck w/ even pitches. Probably why I enjoyed Lotta Balls more!

Much more entertaining than Lotta Balls I thought. We did them back to back. Black Magic has a fantastic 1st and 3rd pitch. The 2nd pitch is long and sustained at 5.6 with hard to place pro at times. That leader needs a little experience if you are switching out. Can run that 3rd pitch out enough to solo the rest. I love the 1st and 3rd pitch. Better route in my opinon than Lotta Balls. Nice views of Mt. Wilson.
