Coffee Shop (aka Quickstop)


New Mexico : Los Alamos & White Rock : White Rock
Description
A 35 foot south facing basalt cliff with a handful of decent topropes and trad routes. Kinda short, but entertaining if you're tired of the Playground.

Getting There
Approach as for the Playground. Once there, face towards the river, turn left (north), and walk 40 yards toward the donut shop. You'll see the obvious short cliff at the top of a scree hill.
