How to Get to Blackwing Lair

To get to Blackwing Lair, you can enter the mountain from either the Burning Steppes or through Searing Gorge, and then take a right from where you would normally enter LBRS/UBRS, followed by a first left down a little corridor, where the ORB to enter Blackwing Lair is located. The Blackwing Lair is a level 60, 40-man raid dungeon located at the top of Blackrock Mountain, home to Nefarian, and can be accessed through the top of UBRS, after the dragon pit fight, without the need for an ORB, which serves as a shortcut.
