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 mixed route starts on the north end of The Black Wall. It shares the first three bolts of "The Reverend Mr. Black", which might be considered the crux, and then continues left up a diagnalling crack traverse to a sweet wide crack dihedral to a two bolt anchor with rappel gear. It might be considered a little dirty, but entertaining never the less. There are some outward inverted fist jams mixed with some crimpers and stemming for some fun and different type of climbing for The Dungeon.
Protection
(3) quickdraws for the bottom, (1) 1/4" blue Alien for the traverse, and #3-#5 Camalots and some 24" trad. runners for the top dihedral.
