Welcome to the New Mexico section of Mountain Project!
The contributions that are made to this site are greatly appreciated; this site is made up of an awesome community of users that make the site what it is.
Although there is very little information regarding “rules” for submitting climbing areas and routes to this site, the New Mexico Administers all agree that the following guidelines may be helpful to truly make this site go “Beyond the Guidebook”.
1) Don’t be a jerk (this one states the obvious). 2) Route and area submissions should truly be helpful to those out climbing. Before posting, you should have some first hand experience actually climbing the route. This always results in a much more useful description. 3) Please, please, please… Don’t copy route descriptions directly out of guidebooks, online publications, etc. This is plagiarism! Remember, BEYOND the guidebook! 4) Please use the spell check and make an effort to use correct grammar.
Again, the Mountainproject community truly appreciates the efforts taken to make good route descriptions. If you feel that a route or area description is not up to standard, a brief email to one of the area admins for suggestions on improvement will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for taking the time to make the New Mexico section of Mountain Project quality! We look forward to seeing you out there!
Main over hang
Description
An enormous sandstone overhang, with at least 20 different variations. Some traverses, roof problems and overhangs. Opposite of the main overhang are two awesome V2 slab problems. 250 yards up the trail, and 10 feet of the trail to the right is a mega classic V5 overhanging traverse. There are rarely any other climbers, but often hikers. Its only 20 minutes from Santa Fe, and you can let your dogs run around.
Getting There
Take I-25 north from Santa Fe. Get off on exit 297 (Valencia). Go left underneath I-25 and get back on south bound, drive for about 1 1/2 miles and park in a large pull-off marked by a giant green road sign saying "Canoncito at Apache Canyon". At the north end of the parking lot, cross a drainage and follow trail for about 1/4 of a mile. Cant miss it.
