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
Trinity grovels up a disgusting mud-coated wall of questionable granite. The moves are actually pretty good, but its hard to notice, what with all the dirt, gravel, and bugs raining down.
Begin by scrambling up easy ledges on the south side of the gully. Stem out to clip the first bolt, then scratch and claw your way onto the dirty wall. A series of left-hand sidepull crimps and right hand slopers lead up the blocky wall right of the vague overhanging dihedral. Several of the clips in this opening section are difficult, so use caution. At the appropriate point, a large undercling/sidepull leads to a wide stem in the dihedral. Watch for loose rock to the left. Aggro stemming leads onto the hanging headwall, and much better rock. A few more hard moves turn a shallow roof, and an oddly long runout leads to the chain anchor.
Location
The furthest right route on the Left Arrow. This route begins ~20 feet up in the gully that separates the Right & Left Arrow, climbing the S face of the Left Arrow.
