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
An enjoyable, overhanging arete route with holds on both sides of the arete. The crux comes between bolts 4 and 5 when pulling over the top of the arete. FAs rated this 5.11a but general consensus now is 5.10d.
Location
This is the first route one encounters when approaching the wall via the standard trail down. Shown as route number 1 on the Overlook route topo photo.
I didn't think much of this. I thought the 10 foot section of arete climbing was really great, but the first 15 feet is choss, the line is contrived, and many of the bolts are off the natural line.
