One of the better 5.13s in northern NM, if only it were twice as long! Quite a bit different character than Native Rituals, which is more technical but less dynamic. Mastadont is more 'burly' with thuggish moves between relatively large holds. Basically a 20-move power endurance sprint.
Fun steep gym rat climbing, easier for me than Native Ritual. V6 boulder problem with long moves on good holds up to a good rest to a V5 on the less steep headwall using underclings and rounded holds.
