Welcome to the New Mexico section of Mountainproject!As noted by Tim Toula in Rock and Road, "The west is still wild as far as climbing in New Mexico goes."

NORTHERN NEW MEXICOAreas from the Colorado/ NM state line to Interstate 40 (though not including around the Albuquerque Area). Areas are Listed from North to South. CENTRAL NEW MEXICOIncludes areas generally South of I-40 and the Albuquerque area south to Truth or Consequences. SOUTHERN NEW MEXICOAreas South of Truth or Consequences to the bottom of the state.
