Access Issue: April 2024 - The Road to the Los Alamos Reservoir is Closed on Weekdays until June 2024
Details
The Los Alamos Canyon Reservoir and the road leading to it will be closed starting Monday, April 22, 2024, through mid-June 2024 for watershed mitigation work on the damaged stream channel.
The reservoir and road will be closed to hiking on weekdays until the work is complete, however they will open for foot traffic on weekends. Hikers should park at the Los Alamos County Ice Rink as parking is not allowed near the reservoir road.
The repair project is a collaboration among the Los Alamos Department of Public Utilities (DPU), Keystone Restorative Ecology and Natural Channel Design. Large equipment and dump trucks will be used to move materials along the roadway for use in the stream channel. The materials will be placed to slow down the velocity of runoff water without scouring away natural sediment.
DPU Deputy Utility Manager Clay Moseley said the project will ensure stabilization of the canyon’s watershed and public access to the reservoir for recreational purposes, as well as prevent the road from becoming a liability during particularly wet seasons.
The road and reservoir will open again for recreation daily after the project is complete in June.

Access Issue: This crag is on DOE/LANL property. By climbing here you may be trespassing.
Details
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.
