Access Issue: July 1, 2022 - Jemez Mountains Cerro Pelado fire closure order Details

On July 1st, 2022, the Santa Fe National Forest issued an updated closure order, fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DO… , of much of the Jemez Mountains public land due to the Cerro Pelado wildfire. The closure order is effective immediately and in force until December 31st, 2022 or until rescinded earlier. This closure includes a number of the climbing areas listed in here on MP in the Jemez Mountains and Jemez Valley.

Description

Powerful move on thin crimps with a boulder that sits behind the problem that it seems like you could land on when you swing out.

Start on the arete of Pinball Simulator, but move up into the scooped face to the left. Make some tricky but easier moves to get established on a pair of thin edges. Bust the crux move to the edge a few feet below the lip, then reach to the square cut lip and mantle out.

Location

This problem shares the start of Pinball Simulator but climbs the scooped face to the left of that problem. As the trail heads up the gully it will pass under a steep arete with another boulder on the right. Start on the arete.
