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!
Nate takes the El Rito endurance test, and passes,...
Description
This one is great. Requires no crack technique despite the name. Super enduro- in your face til the end.
Location
5th route from the left, has a crack/layback type feature midway up.
The start is a little cruxy then big pockets most of the way up the climb. The last three/four bolts are tougher with smaller holds and steeper climbing.
Very pumpy, with some technical cruxes. Top part is dope. I found it hard for the grade (certainly compared to other El Rito routes). I'd call it the best route in El Rito (though the short bouldery routes on Beer Block are classic in their own way). Can't imagine giving this one less than 4 stars.
