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
Start atop a big block and climb a finger crack followed by crimping and edging on the thin face left of the arete on small edges to a 2bolt anchor. Kind of crimpy, not as steep as many at Diablo, and fun, high quality climbing. For those that enjoy a delicate face.

This route was established in March 2000 by a host of characters on a beautiful spring day at Diablo, including Josh Smith, Mick Schein, Walt Wehner, Leslie Kelch, and Rick Bradshaw. This gets early morning sun and has a bit of everything making it a great warmup for the Early Wall.
