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
Begin up a low-angled face to the left of a big dirty crack. Pull through the bulge to a big briefcase-sized block that may be loose (don't know for sure, didn't yard on it), stand up on top, get comfy in the dirt and pine needles, clip the single anchor bolt and you're game. This one could be Chocolate Glove's dirty stepsister.
Quoting J. Marc Beverly in Jemez Rock, "Some thrasher routes exist across and upstream 20 feet from [the 45° Boulder]; not recommended," hence the name Thrasher Route. If anybody has information on the route-setter/FA and route name, please post to comments.

3 bolts to a 1-bolt lowering anchor equipped with a quick-link.
