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
Pick out the really improbable steep corner with a finger crack in the back: that's the crux (it's just right of an obvious wide crack that arches left). Get up to it by climbing a slab or the hand crack to its right, to a good rest on a slab before the business. Take a step up the wide crack, stem to the right, and pull through the very overhanging crux, using uncommonly-deployed moves (this is well protected by cams). Easier cracks finish the climb to the top.
Location
This climb is just to the right of the scramble/downclimb; so it tops out a little bit west of the bench. You will see an obvious left-arching wide crack... Poseidon Adventure goes up the steep overhanging thin crack just right of this.
