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.

(03) Leprosy 5.11c  NM : Jemez Valley Area : Area 37
Beautiful, steeply overhung route at the far left side of the crag. Not as far left as Frosted Mini Wheats, or Mini Wheats, however. Sustained! Crux is near the top of the route. ...[more]   Browse More Classics in NM

A big chunk of rock came off of "Cyclic Loader" yesterday while two climbers were on it. It's safe to say the rock at Area 37 isn't of the highest quality and is more prone to breaking when it's been wet (like it has been recently.) Use caution at this area after it's been raining.
