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 vast tuff crag with lots of potential for route development and lots of fun bouldering. The rock is fairly soft here so use 1/2" x 4" bolts at a minimum. Most of the routes are pretty short but tend to offer stiff and entertaining climbing. Its aspect get morning sun and afternoon shade.
Getting There
Get to Los Alamos. From Central or Trinity take a right on Diamond and head north, pass the high school and continue past a light, then cross the Pueblo bridge turn right into the Pueblo complex and drive around to the backside of the complex at the southside. Park and locate the obvious break in the fence to a gully that travels about 50 feet to the cliff edge. This should put you at the top of Face The Flag and Wolverine.
