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!
With routes from 5.6 to 5.11-, this area is great for the beginner to moderate climber. The setting and the approach are hard to beat. Beautiful grassy meadows against the rock make this a great area to climb and hang out just 100 feet from your car door.
Please note that this area is on private property and we are fortunate that the landowner has allowed the public to climb on it. Please be respectful of this area.
Getting There
It's fairly difficult to miss this area. Follow the directions to Las Conchas. Look across the meadow and you will see the cliff. If there on a weekend you will probably see climbers here as well. It's also right near a popular hiking area near a creek, so there are typically a lot of cars at this pull out.

I spoke with a long time LA climber about this area yesterday. He said that he was pretty sure many of the routes on this wall (Pie in Your Eye, Bovine Inspiration, Cud For Lulu) had been climbed before they were bolted in the early 90s or so(?), and the names now applied to these sport climbs are carried over from when these routes did not have bolts and may have followed different lines. Not that it's a big deal or anything... Maybe someone who was around back then will clarify.
Cattle Call Wall is the most popular and crowded cliff in New Mexico now, as far as I can tell..
