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
This is a continuous line up superb steep rock with a crux at the beginning of the route. Start over the river on some beautiful sloping ledges for the first two bolts and then up to some good hidden pockets and edges up really steep terrain to the Muscle Hustle anchors. The Original anchors were in a bad spot so the location was moved. Stick clipping the second bolt is recommended, although the ground level has dropped since the route was installed. The route was given the false name "Slope a Dope" by someone other than the first ascensionist, but unfortunately is misinformation in all published guidebooks of the area. This could be a three star route, but it is too short.
Location
The obvious chalked-up shorty left of The Muscle Hustle and to the right of Tweak Freak on the 45 degree Boulder.
Protection
Four Bolts to a two bolt lowering anchor.

I'm pretty sure this route was bolted and climbed by Paul May.
I'm curious to know the history of this route. If anybody can set the record straight, please do so.
Luke, how is the memory holding up? I did bolt this route and climb it. The first bolt was put in with a ladder. Additional cleaning and bolt placement consensus contributions, included Ken Kisiel, James White, and Steve Vrooman.
