Description
A subspecies of Homo sapiens (Homo sapiens neanderthalensis), they had bigger brains than modern day humans and were known for their advanced use of tools and culture.
Starts in center of Cave in right-facing dihedral above the slab start, shared with Spearhead. Pull through awkward and pumpy steep climbing to a break where Spearhead goes hard right to the spear-feature, trend left. Use some good underclings out left, with a good kneebar under a softball-sized block, then up the yellow stained streak to the roof. Trend right through a large but easy roof with good holds, and easily gain the upper face with an airy ( but generously-bolted) 11+ technical crux. This climb has some of everything. Good all around climbing skills are required as you will encounter crux moves of three distinctively different flavors. Very fun and rewarding.

Location
Between Sapien and Cro-Magnon. Climb up slabs to base of roof center, just right of large steep dihedral.
Santa Fe, NM
The Dungeon, NM
edit 2018: This is now the 2nd climb right of Cro-Magnon (a project(?) that is a direct start variation is in between). After you exit the overhanging corner, step left to stay on Neanderthal; staying straight is Spearhead (12d). Lower off the new intermediate anchor (anchor for Spearhead) if you're not feeling like doing the techy vert 11+ headwall. Jan 26, 2015
