Black
Rating: V3
Quality: 4 stars
Location: Tram
Notes: Incredible moves high off the deck
Black Moon is one of Tram's flagship highballs. Wills
Young was the first to climb this amazing problem. It's
this beautiful corner/arete system that cleaves a huge
black boulder, dominating the hillside just off the main
trail. The problem immediately slaps you in the face as
you toil on awkward moves at the bottom of this totally
juggy lieback crack. Once finally past the "easy"
crack part at the bottom, sac up and head onto the seemingly
blank and impossible looking upper slab! It's this slab
section that defines Black Moon as a highball classic!
