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 next obvious dihedral left of Putterman Cracks, and work your way up slabs with gear in a thin hands crack to a big roof. Turn this on the right (crux). Continue to the top, going generally straight up, passing a bolt on the way through a steeper section with big jugs.
Another decent crack at BONP, but without an anchor, it doesn't see much traffic. Longer than the other easier climbs here (Putterman Cracks, L-Dopa) but a step less difficult.
Any info on FA, or route name is welcome
Location
This climb is 10' left of Putterman Cracks and is listed as route #1 in Jemez Rock.
It is probably the left-most crack/corner one would consider climbing at BONP.
Protection
1 set nuts, 1 set cams to 3". Maybe #4 cam would be placed. There's now a 2-bolt anchor at the top equipped for lowering.

There are two more ways to start this climb if you're top-roping or into unprotected leading/soloing:
The face just left of the dihedral is fun and of similar difficulty.
Also, moving right after the first couple moves and pulling a big roof is probably 11+ or 12- and is a one-move-wonder/better-bouldered-than-climbed option.
