Closed. You will be cited if parked at trailhead. MORE INFO >>>
If you get ticketed for parking on the side of the road near the trailhead, its only a $5 fee you put a bill in and drop it in the drop box at the roadside camping area 2 miles west.
However, if you get caught on Maverick, you get fined a larger sum and/or arrested.
Muff Diver was so aptly named because of what it resembles. Sorry if it offends anyone, its just an observation. Its a fun somewhat overhung route with a lot of sharp cracks to wedge on the way up. You can use the reverse wall to rest at the top, but I wouldn't recommend it, as one girl we were with ended up getting herself wedged somehow and we had to hike up and around, tie off, and rap someone down next to her to push her out of the wedge...it was weird.
Location
You have to either down climb or take a hike around to climb down...unless you have already top roped the line to the right, at which when you top out you can clip in and rap down.

Better (and legal) summertime sport cragging near Taos can be found at Comales Canyon, and at Red River. Go there instead.
I feel I should edit this "5.7 PG13", "24 ft trad route" with "no pro at all". Most would consider this a scramble to the top, some might call it a V0- boulder problem, but I gotta say this is weak sauce and doesn't merit a page. I am considering deleting this if I don't hear a worthy argument.
