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 crux for many on this climb is clipping the first bolt as it's fairly high up. Some recommend that you stick-clip the first bolt; others decide to go to the crack on the left for security. If you're feeling more bold, climb on small pockets and edges up the face - it's fun and technical and the landing is fairly wide-open and flat if you do peel. After the first bolt, sink into a large horizontal crack/ledge and repeat until the top. The grade eases significantly after clipping the second (last) bolt. Watch for some loose material as you get higher up.
Location
This route ascends the steep face to the right of Under the Weather.
