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
This short and steep wall has three good established top-ropes as well as a short trad route. The route that stands out on this wall is Steel Dihedral, a beautiful and clean dihedral. The rock is pretty good down low, but some loose sections are still present so be careful and test holds before comitting your weight to them. The anchors are relatively easy to get to by scrambling uphill to the west.
Getting There
Once in the Garden, hike up to El Diablo. As you hike around the top (east) of El Diablo, you will immediately notice the Hybrid Wall a short distance to the north.
