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: Jalapeno Crack, 5.7, Tortilla Flats, White Rock, N...
Easy blocky climbing at the base leads to an excellent and fun, but all-too-short, hand crack that leads up to an embedded block, with easier jamming to the top.
Location
This crack marks the center of the "Four Faces," as so named in the online guide.
Protection
Standard cams and nuts. It may be desirable to place a directional near the very bottom that would help the belayer keep the rope from constantly flipping under the edge of the big block at the base.
Easy enough to set up a TR, which then also can allow access to TR the face to the left.
