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
Up the gully right of The Black Wall. Cruise up a nice low angle face to a steeper dihedral and turn out of the dihedral to easier slab moves to the anchor. The crux is at the 6th bolt.
Location
Starts in a gully right above a an old large down tree that has no bark. Rappel route to get off.

Decided to go left around final roof/bulge recently and discovered that doing so is a lot easier than going right - probably drops the grade to 10a/b or so. Also, going right is more in line with the bolts and appears to be the route setter's intended line - falling here is inconsequential as the bolt is right in front of you; falling while going left is not bad, but there's more of a pendulum if you do.
