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
Gymnast shares its beginning with Upper Kor's Crack making its way up a thin finger crack for approximately 15 feet to a large ledge. Once atop the ledge make your way right (left continues up Upper Kor’s Crack) where you intersect with the twin-cracks second half of Lower Kor’s Crack. It is easier to use a combination of these upper cracks; if you have bigger hands, the left will likely suit you well whereas smaller hands may be more suited for the right crack.
Location
Shares a common start with Upper Kor’s Crack, which begins approximately 10 feet to the left of Lower Kor’s Crack. Gymnast is route #14 in the Potrillo miniguide
