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
The first pitch is 5.11- (70 m rope required for the rap) to the same belay stance as Rastafari. The second pitch goes right at 5.10-. The left bolt line is the second pitch of Rastafari, retroed (with permission of FA party) at 5.10.
Location
The climb is the first left of Occasional Freshman and right of Rastafari(the high bolt). Follow the painted bolts.
Protection
The first pitch needs a few pieces (small to medium wires and cams). The second pitch is entirely bolts.
Actually the first ascent party of Rastafari wasn't contacted...at least no one asked me... but I say way to go! That second pitch was a nightmare. To who ever put in the bolts, thanks.
I belive that they talked to Johnny M, so perhapse, "part of the FA party" would have been a better comment as far retroing the second pitch of rastafari goes.
Not sure what any of that (above) has to do with this route description...?
This line is really good - Thanks Mark and Karl ! I'd say it's .11 for sure...with a pack on. I don't think you need any gear except for maybe a yellow C3 (yellow TCU) about half way up. I wondered if I was going to run out of draws and started back cleaning...then ahhh, the anchors appeared ! Stellar climbing for anyone climbing at the grade.
Descent is an easy walk off from the top of Redeemer. So just follow the ridge back to the SE and downclimb.
