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
Begins just right of the gap left center of the crag. Follow the bolts through some mantle moves and up through the tricky overhang at the top.

A nice climb. Moves down low can be made easier by staying left in the gash area otherwise you're dealing with the typical smooth start of the climbs at Area 37. Sharp near the top. Another climb with a funky cold shut anchor setup with one bolt higher than the other. Needs hardware to make it easier to equalize and clean.

Great climb! Fun, thin moves throughout the bottom lead to a small roof before the anchors. Using the crack is good, but can be a bit painful and you may leave a little skin behind! (I did.)

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