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
Sharing bolts with Stemulation, the two climbs share characteristics in technicality. This one seems to be the most difficult of the two. Again the climb starts with a small crimpy overhang, turning into some stemming and technical movement up into a scoop. DON'T get suckered in after the 3rd clip. Although it is tempting to move into the dihedral, it's difficult to move anywhere once you are there! Crux comes after clipping the fourth bolt.
Can be found in an open area along the trail before the trail heads back into the trees.
Protection
6 bolts to anchors. This climb is well bolted, as you will find a bolt at your waist when moving though difficult part.
