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
As with the rest of the New Side routes, this wall gets sun in the afternoon. Home of some of the more difficult routes on the New Side of Mentmore.
Getting There
Continue past the monolith and look for (01) Flakes Don't Fail Me Now, the first route on this wall, which will be obvious by the devious looking flakes in the middle to the top of the route.
Start on the route left of (01) Flakes Don't Fail Me Now, and right of the arete with the route, (04) On the Edge. Climb the lower angled white colored rock (though not easy!), to the more vertical rock above. Here is where you will "Sink, or Swim". The route is named after the crux move near the top of the route....[more]
