Upper Blackrock Spire is the upper area of Blackrock Spire. The area of the Blackrock Spire instance to the north of the Hall of Blackhand is commonly known as Upper Blackrock Spire. It is treated as an independent instanced dungeon from Lower Blackrock Spire, although it is in fact part of the same, huge instance.

Notes

See also: Removed Upper Blackrock Spire quests
Before the release of the Patch 3.0.8 expansion, the raid required completion of the quest Quest:Seal of Ascension, to acquire the [Seal of Ascension] for at least one member of the party. However, this is no longer needed, as the door that leads to Upper Blackrock Spire is now permanently open.
The door which leads to Upper Blackrock Spire will not be open, however, if your LFD party is queued for Lower Blackrock Spire.
UBRS, or more precisely the Rookery, is the setting of the Leeroy Jenkins video.
