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
Powerful little problem. In your face from after the first bolt until after the 3rd bolt.
Location
Furthest right route on the north face of the Beer Block.
Grading seems right to me - also rated 12b in Jay Foley's "Taos Rock" book. Short and bouldery, with a great throw to a jug near the top (can follow crimps out left to avoid the throw, but the fall is nasty and sideways). Excellent route
Nice powerful route, 12b seemed right to me. Easy to onsight for the grade as the moves are easy to see from the ground and none are particularly devious just powerful. I found the top from last bolt on to be much easier, no throws were necessary.
Yep, 12b for sure. Just did it today for the first time. I thought it was a tough onsight as there is so much chalk on it! I didn't know whether to got left or straight up after the 2nd bolt!
