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!
Climbing is currently allowed in Last Chance Canyon. Continued access is everyones responsibility. MORE INFO >>>
After careful consideration and discussions with Access Fund representatives and members of the climbing community, posting Last Chance Canyon beta will now be allowed on Mountain Project. However, when climbing at Last Chance Canyon we must be considerate of the Forest Services’ current ban on bolting new routes, climbing, and trespassing within the Solstice and Hermit Caves. The concerns of the Forest Service include archeological resources and rare or endangered plant species in the area. Please, tread lightly, and approach the area with a sense of respect.
Access Fund representatives are currently working with the Forest Service in creating a Climbing Management Plan for the area. We can assist them in this process by acting responsibly as a user group. As a community of climbers, it is important that visiting and local climbers share the responsibility in conducting themselves in a way that reflects positively on our larger community. Please respect the requests and policies of the Forest Service in order to preserve our access to this area.
Thank You,
Tony New Mexico Mountain Project Admin.
Matt Riles hooks it up on Michael Ontraverno's "So...
Description
Sunny corner you see during the approach to Breakfast Wall. A single line ascends the primary arete. More developement is possible here if the ban lifts.
Getting There
Downstream about 200 yards from the Beer Garden. You will pass if you follow the Breakfast Wall Approach.
There is currently only one route here. "Michael Ontraverno's White Noise" is the original name given by the FA, Mike Ontraverno. It mostly goes by the simple name White Noise. I am not sure how dedicated he is to his original title?
So strike M.O.'s name from the route name. So goes 2nd hand information. Now I remember what happend... that email corrected the spelling of his name, and identified the route as "White Noise", and I somehow linked them together. Sorry for another mixup.
I forgot... the route was originally called "The Sound Of White Noise" after an Antrax album, but also because the day I bolted it,was probably the windiest day I've ever experienced. I was getting flung aroud like a rag doll, and could barely hear the drill.
