Access Issue: Access Issue for Areas in BLM Taos Field Office Lands
Details
Per the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Taos Field Office's (
blm.gov/office/taos-field-o…) 2012 Taos Resource Management Plan (RMP) (
bit.ly/2Kab3HO), "Installation of new rock climbing routes or hardware will require pre-approval by the BLM." The RMP is the document that guides all the BLM management in a given field office. Climbers are asked to respect this guidance and not install new bolts or fixed hardware on Taos Field Office BLM land without pre-approval from the BLM. NM CRAG (
nmcrag.org/) is currently working with the BLM Taos Field Office to establish specific guidance for new route development in the district and they hope to have a formal process in the near future.
Diablo areas within the BLM Taos Field Office management area are:
The Shack,
Winter Wall,
Solar Cave,
Lake Street and
Styx.
Description
Start by climbing the first four bolts of
El Areto Bolto Del Diablo then continue straight up past 6 more bolts to a two bolt anchor. Heavenly crimps and pockets, combined with unwavering faith in your footwork just might get you to the pearly bent gates at the anchor.
Protection
10 bolts to a 2-bolt anchor.
