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!
BETA PHOTO: Topo for Red River crags
Description
Red River has 5 bolted routes overlooking Mallette Park. This crag is South facing and is climbable most of the year. Routes are listed from left to right:
There are bolted anchors on the top of all the climbs for easy top rope set ups. ****Some of the climbs need two ropes or a 60m!****
Getting There
Red River crags are located above the tennis courts in Mallette Park. To get to the park, traveling East from Questa, turn left from Main St. on Mallette Rd. between the Red River Miner (the liquor store) and Sitzmark Sports. Go about three blocks and you will see the large parking lot on the left. Park near the tennis courts. An indistinct trail leads up to the climbs. You can hike around the back of the rocks to set up top ropes. Approach is about 5 mins.

A new route (The Seam 5.12a/b?) is located on the main wall. Start on Bandito and clip the first two bolts then go up and right past five more bolts to the anchor for Bounty Hunter.
