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
There was mention of this route under the description for Lucy. Has a bouldery 12b start and a very exciting 12c finish on a delicate powerful face. Very pretty.
Location
This route is to the right of Mastodont, the steep 13b to the far left of cave with 3 fixed clips in the middle or to the left of Lucy. Can finish upper section of Lucy after you pull the second roof if hard face climbing is not your style.
Protection
13 +/- bolts. I just left 2 new biners on the anchor.
The moves through the bottom section of this climb are SO much fun, and then the face climbing up top really makes you think. If you want to avoid the upper face climbing, I would recommend doing the lower section and finishing up on Lucy (that linkup is called "Evolucy"). It doesn't create as much rope drag as you might expect.
