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
A right leaning crack in the middle of a face with small holds and pockets. Small face holds help to keep in balance, with the crack providing pro and security. A wide-ish pod area about half-way up presents some difficulty. Just after the pod is the crux with less obvious footholds- gun it through to the jug. The final 8 feet is no gimme, after the basalt changes to a more smoother variety (with holds farther apart)- here, the climb is steeper but the crack is wide enough for hands, but still feels tough especially if you worked hard to get here. The anchor is just left at the finish.
