For more details on the closure/access in this area of Cimarron Canyon, see this Forum

Better (and legal) summertime sport cragging near Taos can be found at Comales Canyon, and at Red River. Go there instead.

Fair enough, I'll change my comment. Don't climb here, no fun, very illegal. Better to buy a permit and go hunting.

Please do not try to poach this crag. The wildlife area and the state park are both CLOSED to climbing. There is a clearly worded sign to that effect on the gate at the Maverick trailhead, and the position statement from NM Game and Fish is pretty clear as well. Live with it; do not climb here, and not just because you might get arrested or fined. We may endanger current or future access to other similar NM areas where climbing is already prohibited or could easily come under the microscope (e.g., Palisades, Sugarite, City of Rocks, and maybe even Ship Rock if their state park plan comes together).
