I’m still a little sore and tired from a great weekend of climbing in the Black Canyon. Rainy weather provided ample excuse for tackling some smaller and easier objectives. The Black can be an intimidating place but incredibly rewarding. It’s a quiet canyon with few visitors and fewer climbers. The 2006 film, “First Ascent” by Sender Films has a great section about climbing in the Black. Below is just a trailer but it’s still fun and inspiring.
Also fun, albeit less exciting, are a series of historical videos from the National Park Service. Check them out here, here and here.
Now, plan a visit to the Black!
