There are bolted anchors on the top of all the climbs for easy top rope set ups. ****Some of the climbs need two ropes or a 60m!****
Getting There
Red River crags are located above the tennis courts in Mallette Park. To get to the park, traveling East from Questa, turn left from Main St. on Mallette Rd. between the Red River Miner (the liquor store) and Sitzmark Sports. Go about three blocks and you will see the large parking lot on the left. Park near the tennis courts. An indistinct trail leads up to the climbs. You can hike around the back of the rocks to set up top ropes. Approach is about 5 mins.
