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.
Description
This crack is a nice-looking line, but ends up being much tricky than expected at its thin crux and dirty up high. I suspect there was at some point a bolt protecting the crux (says there is one on the route in the books), but it is not there, and is going to be scary to lead as is. Unfortunately, above the crux, the crack gets wide, dirty, and has many scary-looking wedged blocks in it, though it is an easier section.
