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
Long route, as are all of the routes on Super Slab. Some sequency moves off the deck lead to some easy climbing through the less than vertical slab in the middle. The crux hits you at the overhang, where the number of holds diminish a the rock gets more steep and sequency. An enjoyable route.

Excellent climb! Quite long and very enjoyable. Great views from the top too. I may be a little light on the rating for the crux moves, but the holds are sooo big and the vast majority of the climb is certainly not 5.10! A couple of moves off the ground lead to much easier "cruiser" climbing all the way to the roof. Need to use a 200 foot rope on this one.

Apparently a woman broke her leg at El Rito sport on Saturday in a lead fall on Boltaneer six bolts up. There were multiple ambulances and a helicopter even.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Careful out there, even on "safe" bolted climbs.

Last fall we witnessed a big fall on this route in about the same area where the leader sorta hip-checked the wall down below the bulge before coming to a stop. The fall appeared to be way bigger than it should have been considering where the leader was in relation to her last protection bolt. It appeared the belayer may have had some extra slack out and was also pulled up a bit. It's a long route and having that much rope in service means for a longer, but softer, fall. I don't recall ever feeling run-out on this route but maybe there's a decent space between the 6th and 7th bolt? I hope the leader that fell this weekend recovers quickly!
