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.

Description 

This is a fun new route with some big moves on good holds. It stays pretty nice and steep throughout with out ever forcing you to climb in the roof.

Follow mostly good holds up to a very big move near the 3rd bolt. Above this a nice traverse right on pockets take one to the anchor that is shared with Botox.

Location 

This is the second route from the right. Starts between Leper and Botox, follows blue taped chain draws.

Protection 

4 bolts, 3 with fixed chains with blue tape to anchors.
