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 White Rock mini classic. Stem up the funky shallow chimney using an awkward crimp with scarce footholds (crux?). From here, a few feet of easy ground, step left and follow a thin finger crack with fun moves requiring good footwork on the face to the left while placing small but good pro in the crack, and occasional committing lieback moves to the top. A 2nd crux is found somewhere in this section.
Location
Start 10' right of Texas in a A-shaped chimney 8 feet high. (This climb is the next crack right of the obvious Texas flake).
Protection
Double set of cams up to #0.4 camalot/yellow Alien or equivalent + 1 #0.5 camalot + 1 set wired stoppers (no need for any bigger cams; except maybe to build anchor). Two of each cam is highly recommended, especially the #0 TCU/#0 C3 camalot size. Ends just right of the Texas topout, and you might need cordelette and bigger gear to set an anchor if not set in advance.
