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
A short, hard route at the back end of the corridor. This climb has interesting and tenuous moves on an arete of medium-to-soft (for mentmore!) rock. Well-bolted, safe lead, but clipping the 3rd bolt is hard. Be careful to make the first clip...the route starts on top of a boulder pile, and a tumble before clipping would be nasty. Rarely climbed, so the rock hasn't been cleaned up and is still suspect.
Location
Find this one at the far end of the corridor, around the bend at the back, where the corridor re-emerges from behind the Monolith. Check Scott Halliday's route map on the New Side front page: this route is #8, "Project." Look for a sharp arete with some jumbled boulders at the bottom, and an obvious line of bolts. It's the only route in the area.
Protection
4 bolts to a 2-bolt anchor. Rapping and pulling your ropes would probably be difficult. Walk off by scrambling uphill to safe ground, then heading left to the end of the cliffs.
