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 slab climb is located on one of the low angle slabs and is located about 100 feet from the Domingo Baca trail. See the photos of the location in http://www.nmcrag.org/Domingo_baca.pdf.
The route starts under two large oak trees that are at the base of this slab and climbs "Out of the Darkness" onto the slab. The crux is near the first bolt at tree level, but is easily dispatched. Step left at the first bolt to a series of water pockets and climb these huge buckets another 20-30 feet until you reach the second bolt (the stance the bolt was drilled from will be obvious). Work up to a small roof, pass on the right and follow seam heading ( a purple 0.75 camelot fits in a slot in this seam and is the only pro for about 20 feet) for a hand sized crack in the middle of the face. Climb this hand crack that turns into a larger crack corner. belay at the top.
Location
Can either walk off to the left - scramble to another climb - or set a rappel so that you can climb the other route located nearby - :Slab Sacrilege"
