Access Issue: COVID-19 New Mexico Requirements - Updated Nov. 16, 2020
Details
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health emergency declared in Executive Order 2020-004 and any extensions of that emergency declaration or until it is rescinded.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.

Description
This route is the 2nd pitch above The Iliad. The rock, movement and position above the entire valley make this one of the must do .12s in the Bat Cave area. Probably as good as New Beginning but not quite so hard.
1st PITCH (70') -
Climb The Iliad or Little Iliad to the belay chains.
2nd PITCH (110') -
From the upper belay on The Iliad(at 110')move up to clip a bolt then step a bit right and back left to the next bolt. Move right into the corner after the 2nd bolt as the route begins to steepen. Climb the fun 5.11 corner on good holds that begin to get smaller. At the 5th bolt make a difficult move left out of the corner to a small bulge. Surmount this difficult bulge on extremely small crimps. Make techy moves back right to a pod in the corner. Climb over the final bulge and move left to the chains at a belay stance/ledge.
Note: The large block at the top that you climb onto is solid but the right side has a crack in it. At present the fractured right side is solid but try not to use it as is could come off in time. Better to climb left on jugs under the block and then pull up onto the solid center section of the block.
