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
The furthest S route on the W wall of the Pit. This route begins up a pocketed slab, maneuvering through a couple of horizontal breaks on mostly great pockets and some big crimps. The rock deteriorates a bit near the top.
Location
The 2nd bolted route encountered on the right wall from the approach.

Another excellent climb in The Pit; nice and long with fun moves (especially through the bottom). My favorite part is as you emerge from the cave, you look out and feel like you're only a couple of feet off the ground.
This is a great climb and probably the best 5.8 sport route in White Rock. From the top of this route you can traverse to the right and set up Gralissa Lean for TR.
