Windward Wall Rock Climbing

Approach from the crest from the crest spur trail to the junction with the La Luz. At the junction head west (towards Albuquerque) on a primitive climber trailhead up to the ridge above Echo Canyon. You'll see a unique rock formation (see picture) along the way right as the trail disappears. Just get up to the ridge.

Follow the ridge first south then west until you reach the cliffband. You'll pass several don't disturb boundary marker signs on the way. You'll see 4 distinct walls as you look down from the cliff band - you're aiming for the second to southernmost. That's Science Friction. Locate a pair of rap anchors (tough to spot) at the top of that wall and do a 150' rappel down A Face Odyssey to the base of Science Friction Wall. There is a huge bolt halfway down which you might be able to stop and do a second rappel if needed.

Once at the base of Science Friction Wall, Scramble uphill North through woods to the base of Pub Draught Guinness. Head west to the top of Windward Wall and rappel Good Clean Fun in 1 double rope rappel or 2 single rope rappels to the base of the crag. You can also rap Storm Warning with two single rope rappels.

Mick's Sandia guide also mentions that it is possible to approach by hiking down the La Luz to The Fin, hike up talus opposite the Fin, the scramble east to the base of Windward Wall.
