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
Area south of Box Canyon. Good winter climbing due to its south facing nature. Several routes among the walls with grades ranging from moderate to advanced. Just as the majority of Socorro, most of the routes are equipped with bolts with some taking pro.
Getting There
From the Box, continue south on the dirt road for about a mile up the hill. You will eventually get to a point where the road narrows, where will also see an open gate (at least it has been open every time I have been there) and a fence. Park around here. The crags are to your left. See overview map (rough) to learn more of where each wall is.
