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
Another steep but short climb at El Rito... this is the most natural (read: easiest) way to climb to the anchors for Just Another Pretty Face. This variation is about 4' to the right of the original route, which is a bit of a squeeze, but still good climbing.
The crux comes at a reachy move getting to the 2nd bolt. At the last bolt, step left, which will put you above the line for Just Another Pretty Face, and go through the last pumpy section before clipping the chains.
Soft for 5.11, but maybe it earns it if you stick strictly to the bolt line instead of following path of least resistance.
Thanks Jason for FA info.
