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
Stem across or chimney between 2 columns to begin this climb- this is a little to the left of straight below the dead tree (a 5.10+ seam start begins just right of this chimney). Angle up and right for a ways following strenuous cracks that are shared with Mr. Foster's Lead. Near the top, bust out left on pockets through slightly overhanging ground (crux) to the tree. This finish is somewhat contrived but fun, and on lead it is more logical to stay in the crack directly above and finish as for Mr. Fosters Lead.
Note that if you follow strictly the line shown in "Jemez Rock", you'll wind up on 5.12 terrain.
Location
Identify the dead/dying tree on the ledge in the center of the Playground. Tree Climb follows the easiest route up to this.
Protection
1 set nuts, 1 set cams.. up to #4 camalot. Tricams might be useful. Do not use the dead tree as an anchor- build your own.
