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 seasonally a consistently formed route every year from parking lot and hill drainage. In some years it applies the New Mexico Rotten Ice(RI) rating, but it good years can get really fat. The crux is usually at the bottom before you can get any dependable gear. The top eases up and gets stickier.
Location
Locate this route by walking about 50 yards due east from the ice rink. It will be visible on the right as you walk. This route is directly in the center of the main flow. It is the obvious weakness up the middle.
Protection
Ice screws, red and yellow aliens, and runners to a two bolt anchor.
