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
Far left (north) side of the rock formation of the clean face near the corner. Slabby face climb for the most part. Can start at the crack to the right of the first bolt, or use the dihedral, traversing to the right to clip the first bolt (second variation easier). At the top of the crack before launching onto the face, I have been told one can use a small nut or tcu. Though, I did not find this helpful. Clip bolts along the thin face to the top. Tricky!
Protection
Gear: Quickdraws, small cams (optional) Anchors: 2 Bolts. Descent: Rap from the summit anchors. May want to take some extra slings/ rap rings to leave there
We top roped this route after sending Estrellita. I couldn't send the bolt route directly but managed to send along the arete to the right of the bolts. The 5.10a rating seems more likely. I felt the bolt line was harder than Amazon Woman at Quartz Mountain Oklahoma.
