Sal's Neurosis

5.11a, Sport, 45 ft (14 m),  Avg: 1.5 from 16 votes
FA: Sal Maestas
New Mexico > Jemez Mountains… > Las Conchas > (J) The Sponge

Description

Looking at the start of this it looks alot harder than 10d (and probably is a little sandbagged). Anyways with difficulty pull of the ground and figure out how to get to and past the second bolt. Once past the second bolt a nice rest is obtained and easier ground up to the anchors. On the upper section it is much easier to climb slightly left of the bolt line.

Location

Left of the Sponge by about 50 feet. It is the only route on the rock.

Protection

4 Bolts to Chains

[Hide Comment] Very forgettable route with a bit of a sandbagged start. FA is Sal Maestas, who is responsible for some good routes in NM, as well as the old Tower/Socorro guide. Jan 30, 2018
