Closed for Sensitive Archaeological Resources MORE INFO >>> The Forest Service issued a temporary closure of Crystal Cave to all public access in order to perform an archaeological survey. Impacts to the cave’s nationally significant archeological resources are the major concern. The Access Fund continues to work with New Mexico Climbers’ Resource and Advocacy Group (NM CRAG), local climbers, and the US Forest Service to address this issue. This information is a public crowdsourcing effort between the Access Fund, and Mountain Project. You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates. Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

Start by climbing down and around a low hanging bulge then up on pretty good holds to a tough move off of an undercling to a good hold high on the short vertical section of rock above. Move up another steep bit to more jugs and a traverse left into the underclings at the 4th bolt on Dope.

Continue out Dope through the tough section on pockets and the throw to the jugs and lower off for "Short on Faith" 5.13-, or continue out the V6 boulder problem to the top for the full route.

Location 

From the right this is the second route that starts out of the back of the cave and the 6th route from the arete. I don't recall what color the tape is on the draws.

Protection 

Bolts with fixed chain draws.
