Description 

A nice little crag about a mile beyond the Las Conchas climbing area. This small crag has many good routes on the same type of rock as Las Conchas. Though there are few routes currently at this crag, there is a nice range in levels from 5.6 to 5.12b/c.

Getting There 

Follow the directions to the Las Conchas climbing area, then continue about a mile beyond. Pull out on the left side of the road at mile marker 37.

Follow a faint trail through the grass to a barbed wire fence. Jump across it and hike up the hill to the crag.

Los Gastones 5.11+  NM : Jemez Valley Area : Area 37

Three days of bolting, hammering, prying, scraping and brushing have yielded a fairly high-quality route between "Cherry Pickin'" and "Branching Out". The route starts on the typical Jemez grit and launches into cleaner and steeper dark rock on a variety of holds (with many gastons). A good rest precedes an interesting last crux (heel hook?)....[more]   Browse More Classics in NM
