Comments: The protection is also a little strange, cams half way in and nuts slotted behind small flakes. For such a nice looking crack it requires a surprising amount of thought...have no fear though, there is a perfect hand jam just above her in the pic.

Comments: This route is tenuous in the beginning and the offwidth section is easier done with stemming and face holds...stay in the crack anyway and you can work your way in about thigh deep for some fun.

Comments: its really important to use long runners on this section or the drag will suck...i remember a #1 camalot and some tri-cams being useful

Comments: Randy Baum (and others I'm sure) soloed this rock before any bolts were in it...thought it was fun bouldering

Comments: perfect upside down hand jams...did you go through the off width section? I'm still trying to get my bearings on how difficult it actually is. I stuck to the hand jam start myself...nothing like hanging effortless upside down to put the proper pump in your veins.

Comments: thinking back on this problem i seem to recall several folks in the area saying the off width roof crack was V8ish...am i totally off or is this just a vicious reverse sandbag designed to boost my already pathetic ego? As i recall,sticking to the thin hands, hands stretch, was mostly just awesome fun, especially with a good spot to push you away from the spiky bolders on the landing...truly classic, sadly under used as many would rather crimp than jam here.

Comments: If you are tall with good reach this problem runs about V2ish...long throws with really good holds. Take this one slow and easy to use it as a warm up for the 30 feet of upside down bliss of the morgue, just up the hill.

Comments: there is a small mexican grocery on the right of the main road a couple miles out heading out from el paso towards hueco...best tortillas in the world. we subsisted off the damn things for almost a week and bought as many as we could before we headed home...dirt cheap and damn good for a tight budget.

Comments: that caption is a strait up paradox...only because of the texas part. It is truly amazing to find such a wonderful place located within spitting distance of the #1 shit town in mexico and a top 5 shit town in texas.

Comments: I saw this exact same move done with a pinch variation...far beyond my skill...the climber essentially was using the same holds except he was very slightly to the left pinching between a hard to see thumb and the vertical rail about 4 inches or so to the left. I only remember it because I saw the guy attempt it 5 or so times before he stuck it. At the time it seemed a truly ridiculous move. A friend was showing me around hueco at the time and it was amazing to come across these little caves w... more >>

Comments: I'm not sure that clipping that first bolt is a good idea...if you fall you swing right into that chimney. I thought that was part of another route?
