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!

Description
Easy climibing down low leads to nice face climbing past a few bolts to the top. A crack on the left offers easier climbing if you give in to temptation.
Location
Just left of the top of the approach trail. First route left of the nice 5.9 route, The Egg.
An excellent route. It is incrementally harder than The Egg. For us The Egg comes first, followed by The Chicken, and then we are ready to tackle some of the other routes at the crag.
I don't remember if I used the crack, but I did wander quite a bit and I'm pretty sure it comes in at 5.10a or so. Or as my buddy claims 5.10a +
