Effective November 16th, 2020, please do not travel into New Mexico to climb.
On November 16, 2020, the New Mexico state governor updated the executive order (cv.nmhealth.org/wp-content/…) requiring all visitors from out of state to self-isolate or self-quarantine for a period of at least 14 days from the date of their entry into the State of New Mexico or for the duration of their presence in the State, whichever is shorter. The terms "self-isolate" or "self-quarantine" refer the voluntary physical separation of a person or group of people in a residence or other place of lodging. Any person who is self-isolating or self-quarantining may only leave a residence or place of lodging to receive medical care and should not allow others into the residence or place of lodging except for those providing medical care, emergency response, or other individuals designated by the New Mexico Department of Health.
The executive order also closes all New Mexico State Parks to non-NM residents.
This Executive Order shall take effect on November 16, 2020 and shall remain in effect through the duration of the public health emergency declared in Executive Order 2020-004 and any extensions of that emergency declaration or until it is rescinded.
Additionally, NM state guidance requires all persons to wear a mask anytime they are out in public, including outdoor recreation areas.

Climbing, and certainly any new route development, is discouraged on DOE/LANL property. The information here is largely for historical purposes and climbing at this area is not at all recommended.
Description
Some may want to stand on the boulder to clip the first bolt, others may want to stick clip it. It's not too high up, but as was mentioned before, the rock is soft and prone to breaking, so be protected. Fun movement on large holds keep your attention all the way to the anchors.
Location
Route # 1 in the online guide. This is the left-most (west) route at Hospital Crag and perhaps the best in terms of movement and overall climbability. Begin in front of a large boulder that lies near the base.
