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
Big Medicine is the most challending line on the Rosebud Wall, rising straight up below the jutting gray prow that looms over the center of the cliff. This one is markedly more difficult than Sweat Lodge. The route begins very easily with big jugs on the slab. As the wall steepens, the difficulty increases, surmounting a series of bulges to some funky gastons and underclings that deliver you to an arm thread just below the lip of the wall. Rest well hear as the finish is the real crux. Small, non-positive holds and technical moves lead over the bulge and onto the unnerving gray slab, where a few more insecure moves must be made to reach the anchor.
Location
Big Medicine is the 5th route from the left, or third from the right, beginning just left of the tree that grows at the base of the wall.
