Featured Route For Big Block

Winding up for the last hard move, photo Chris E. <br /> <br />My right hand is on the triangular hold and the left is on the second sidepull. Though this is not the easiest way to grab the sidepull and not the best foot option either.

Reachy sidepulls? V9 NM : Albuquerque Area Climbing : ... : Bouldering Cave

Start off of a block that sticks out of the main horizontal under the roof and make along move to a triangular hold over the lip. Match or reach up left to the first sidepull and go again to the second. Get your feet up and make a barndoor dynamic move to a sharp square cut edge, match on another edge and move up to the big horizontal. Drop off....[more] Browse More Classics in NM

Actually there is a little known published guide by - I think - none other than Matt Samet circa 90's. The routes even have names. I think StoneAge has a copy somewhere, it would be nice to see it online.

Nice bouldering here due to the daytime shade, plenty of options.

The 5.7+ routes on the small wall/boulder felt harder to me maybe the way I was climbing it? Be warned if you are looking for some chill/easy 5.7's .

@ Ian, I'd always heard of the 2 short bolted climbs on the boulder referred to as 5.9, might be why they seemed a bit hard for 5.7+.
