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
Start in the first place that seems reasonable to the right of Flying A, stand on good ledges and soon gain a big flake and traverse right. Above looms a flaring slot- moving through this is the crux- look to place cams at the top of the slot. Follow the thin crack above, with easier climbing with more footholds, but less obvious gear placements for 15' or so. At the top, the crack widens to hand size, and good gear can be placed again. It's a worthwhile easier climb (for the Playground). Tough for Playground 5.9, but easy for Playground 5.10
Location
This climb is about 20' to the right of Texas, or about 10' right of Flying A. Identify a flaring slot about 2/3 of the way up.
