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
The route starts in steep pocketed corner, which changes to a blunt arete after 20'. There is a spicy clip towards the top but you can work the arete to get a good stance; the arete has relatively positive holds but most people are pumped (myself) by this point. Good route, but a "Freebourne hardman route". Why are most entry level routes sparsely bolted and then the 12's and harder usually over bolted? Put up on lead.
Location
The first route on right side of cave area where trail flattens and crosses boulders. Starts in corner where the first large boulders are.
Protection
?bolts. Anchors under mini roof on left side of arete.
