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
Traverse left behind the pine tree, then climb up a painful hand crack, with big holds on the arete to its left. Continue generally up and slightly right, passing big (scary-looking) boiler plates. Lichen-covered. You have your choice of two-bolt anchors: there's one on a flat ledge to the right, but a better looking one more atop the route if you continue up and left.
Location
This climb is on the northeast corner of Mosaic Rock, around the corner from the descent gully. There's a pine tree growing out of a horizontal crack at its start. A 2-bolt anchor is at the top of the interesting climbing, but it needs equipping with chains or new webbing (with so many flakes, I was scared to rappel and scrambled off the top and down the standard descent after lowering my partner).
Protection
1 set nuts, 1 set cams to 3". A 2-bolt anchor is at the top.
