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
Amazing climbing on iron hard basalt. One of the best routes I have done on basalt in NM. Classic!
Location
Climb up the obvious crack and move right making a dicey move past a bolt. Fire up steep, iron hard basalt past five more bolts to the anchors.

Bob, Great climb with great historic name. The web has several articles about it: "El Grito del Norte was a bilingual New Mexico newspaper co-founded by Elizabeth "Betita" Martinez and attorney Beverly Axelrod in 1968 as a vehicle to support the Alianza Federal de Mercedes. It expanded to cover the Chicano Movement in urban areas, workers' struggles, and Latino political prisoners, as well as Leftist causes. The paper ceased publishing in 1973." Viva El Grito.
