North Rd. East

New Mexico > Los Alamos & Wh… > Los Alamos Crags > Pueblo Canyon Areas

Description

Another seldom-visited streambed welded tuff area in the upper Pueblo Canyon drainage, with short cliffs most suitable for bouldering, sometimes done as dry-tool routes.

I believe this is generally the same area mentioned in "Jemez Rock" as West Pueblo Canyon (aka Shithole Gulch), and at one time had 2 or 3 mediocre sport climbs, but those routes were destroyed by road construction in the early 2000s.

(I haven't climbed here, but added the area at the request of a local climber who noticed some of the routes were posted in the wrong area page and referred to this area as "North Road East". If anyone wants to inherit this page and improve it, you're welcome to it.)

Getting There

Park as for North Rd. West, but walk to the northeast and down the canyon in that direction instead.

Hi Jack. I don't think any of the NM area admins have climbed on this boulder. Try contacting Scott Beguin as he did the FAs on this boulder (and many others in the canyons around Los Alamos.) Apr 8, 2017
