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
Just to the left of The Tale of Jemima Puddleduck there is a bolt on a steep and improbable looking piece of rock. The holds are difficult to too see but the route goes just fine, though difficult at the start. After clipping a bolt low clip the bolt on the roof. The next move is the crux, there is an OK 2-3 finger pocket with a long reach to a ginormous jug. Once you hit the jug you can clip the third bolt.
Not quite done yet! Continue through steep juggy, and somewhat dirty climbing to the chains. Be prepared to nock some sand and a few pebbles onto your belayer, it appears that this route is not done much (was worried a hold might come off! But fortunately it did not happen!).
