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!
Allison leading up "Slacker Ken", a fun, airy 5.9 ...
Description
A newer route so not in the guidebook. The first bolt is low and protects you off the deck. Climb up to a nice ledge, where the second bolt can be clipped from a great stance. Continue up through a small bulge and to the anchors. Nice exposure for the grade as it climbs just left of, or on the arete. The climb can be done along the arete, or slightly left of it for two different variations.
Location
Far left end of the Rad Wall on the arete. On the right side of the entryway to the corridor. This route is listed as #1 in the topo Photo.
Protection
5 Bolts to chain anchors. Recommended to keep the first bolt clipped while cleaning to prevent an exciting swing.
A 3 star 5.9 by Vaino and Tony on the Rad Wall...I can't wait to try it. Thanks you guys.

I really enjoy the exposure and feel of this route. Very fun!
We belayed from the nice platform near the entrance to the "Tooth Canal" corridor. There's a belay bolt at ground level about 6 feet up the corridor that's helpful to clip a lighter belayer to for a heavier climber because there is good swing potential.

Nice route. Good addition to the area. A little lichen keeps things interesting.
