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 area is mostly north facing keeping it cold and a great wintertime training ground. The rock is mostly welded tuff and does not offer very secure gear placements unless it is bolts or good ice.
Getting There
Once in town on Trinity, take a left on Daimond and continue to the first stoplight. A left will take you to the hospital. Instead take a right and drop into the canyon and park at the ice rink on your left at the bottom of the hill.
I'm quite surprised to see this information here. I'm not much of an ice climber but I thought certain local ice climbers really tried to keep the local town stashes quiet for fear that the limited ice would be beat-out and destroyed. Interesting.
