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!
Climbing "Bunga Bunga" in Eagle Canyon.
Description
Another excellent, long line. This route features sustained difficulty with numerous hard sections split by good rests.
The route begins at the base of the west-facing wall and heads up, veering right as you ascend. The access trail to Didgemaster offers great opportunities for photography, making this line quite photogenic.
The route begins relatively easily. After about 25 feet, head right via sequential pockets left of the cave pod, where a good shake is possible. Continue up left of the subtle seam. A difficult traverse is followed by s descent rest, then a sequential traverse around the rooflet, where good, deep pockets lead to the anchor.
Location
Immediately left and downhill of Didgemaster.
Protection
Many bolts, 2 BA. Its possible but tricky/dangerous to rig a toprope on this route. It requires an exposed 4th class scramble, and fixing a rope around the giant boulder atop the pillar, and rapping off this boulder to reach the anchor.
