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 teenage heartthrob of the late 1980s made many a 13-year old girl scream.
Crimp and sidepull your way up to a 2 bolt anchor on a ledge. It's fun, and there's a few great pocket holds you'll be really glad when you get 'em.
A trail of 4(?) more bolts leads up the arete above this ledge to a 2-bolt anchor (5.8). I don't know if this counts as a "separate" route or not, but you can climb all the way up in one long pitch and lower to the ground with a 60m rope. This extension isn't shown in the RC:NM guidebook.
Location
The right-most route on Fillet Wall. Starts just left of a block.
Protection
4 bolts to a 2bolt anchor on a ledge (shared with (P) Little Caterpillar). Another 4 or 5 bolts if continuing up the 2nd pitch, to another 2bolt anchor.
