Blackcomb is a 5/3-repeating regular temperament that tempers out 250/243 in the 5-limit, the amount by which three 3/2's exceed 5/4. This implies a generator of a Blackwood-like sharp fifth which is quite "dirty" but still recognizable. It possesses MOS scales of the form 1L 3s<5/3>, 1L 4s<5/3>, making it an antidiatonic tuning, and 6L 5s<5/3>.
