The main cliff is the first one above the Bandelier boundary. See the approach map on the main Capulin page. The main cliff has the majority of the longer routes--some are 200 foot single pitches. Two ropes are a good idea, though it's possible to spend a nice day there on the shorter routes.
Many of these routes have only been climbed once. Expect loose rock and some dirt.
Approach Beta as of 11/27/21:
Approach via the main trail from the parking lot and once at the bottom of the wash continue hiking down stream in the wash for another 5-10 mins. The trail to Main Wall takes you to the upstream (West) side of the wall. After the Upper Wall ends keep an eye out for a cairn on your left. Exit the wash at the cairn and follow the decently marked trail up to the cliff. The trail tops out on the far left side of the wall near Window Maker.
