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
Fluorescent green lichen is what you get when you climb this. It is a nice clean line, and protects well, making it an excellent beginner trad-route. It climbs a crack corner with abundant face holds and tons of gear options. At the steepest, it is only 70 degree or so.
Location
the bright green patch of lichen on the NW side of the upper headwall make this corner system easy to locate. getting to the start is a bit of a scramble, you can either scramble directly up to it, or scramble down around the corner from Putain. The start is under some shrubby oaks to the right of a giant balanced boulder.
Protection
Standard rack, just wires, just cams, but mostly small to mid-range (you can leave the big cams below for this one). No fixed anchors.
