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!
BETA PHOTO: Cindy's Chimney, 5.7, Potrillo Cliffs, White Rock,...
Start up a crack system, through some blocky stuff, and enter a nice stemming dihedral with stable stances; the chimney running up the back has great hand/fist (or wider) cracks. An excellent beginner trad lead.
Location
The second dihedral in from the far left (west) end of the south cliff.
Protection
Great stances on lead, sew it up with medium cams & hexes. Popularly top-roped by slinging the large juniper at the top with static line or longer slings, but there's abundant opportunities for gear anchors on top as well.
