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
A 5.8++, this route probably feels a little harder than the grade. Starts left of center of the crag, on the left side of the gap next to Cyclic Loader. The route starts at the gap and wanders left, then straight up to the anchors. There is large pine tree behind you as you are climbing. You can start on the left side face for a 5.10c variation.

Good moves on good quality rock. Crux is after the third bolt at the bulge with little feet but never fear--very positive hand holds await! This climb also has some funky anchor setup with two cold shuts but one is placed much higher than the other. Needs some hardware to help equalize and make it easier to clean as well as keep the existing hardware from wearing.

Thanks to a hardware donation from NMCRAG, the anchors on this route were replaced in July 2007 with quality Fixe Sport Anchors.
