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
This route starts with thin face climbing on discontinuous cracks. The start is the most difficult climbing, and while not technically challenging, the protection can be difficult to place and there is some scary fall potential. After pulling over the initial head-wall, the route continues up various cracks on a sunny slab and is very reminiscent of some of the meandering routes on Checkerboard Wall. Belay at a large ledge beneath the summit.
This route is on the north side of the upper head-wall. It can be reached by approaching for Fluorogreenand scrambling east around the corner. It also can be reached by climbing Cultural Learnings of America as it starts on the ledge that is the top of that route.
descent from the top of the dome is by scrambling/down-climbing to the south.
Protection
Small cams, tri-cams and a set of wires. There is a fair amount of loose rock near the summit.
