FA: Joel Tinl, Jay Foley, Mike Howard
New Mexico > Taos Area > Red River Area > Rdside Distraction

Description

Tricky and continuous a bit sharp and steeper than it looks.

Location

Large south-facing wall behind trees on north side of hwy. Located about 25 meters right of Roadside Distraction. Direct line with high first bolt. Leads to bolted anchor at ledge under overhang.

For more adventure, may follow an old fixed line along traverse to large cave. Loose, dirty, brushy, run-out...(Scare Way to Heaven, 5.4). This pitch leads to the Moly Mind Cave. The cave sits on a ledge as big as the parking lot below. Rap with TWO ropes from the LOWER anchor just below the big ledge on its West side. Look for rap below the large boulder on the ledge. SOME LOOSE ROCK. HWY DIRECTLY BELOW, PLEASE USE CAUTION.

Protection

Bolts to chain anchor. First bolt is a tad high (PG) but only 5.9 climbing.
