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
Call of the Crane climbs the prow to the right of (20) Cindy's Chimney and to the left of the offwidth crack (Chuckwalla). Start with moves along an intermittent crack/seam with decent ledges to a horizontal crack below a vertical/slightly overhanging face with no pro. Place a cam or two here before committing to the headwall of the prow-- crux face climbing for 8-10 feet or so-- then you'll reach more low-angle terrain and a finger/thin hands crack providing welcome pro again.
Location
This climb is about 6' to the right of Cindy's Chimney.
Protection
A few cams to 2", and some nuts. Anchor off static rope off the tree near the corner of Potrillo, or build your own with gear (recommended).
