Access Issue: Closed to the Public for Sensitive Archaeological Resources
Details
The Forest Service issued a temporary closure of Jemez Cave (a.k.a. Crystal Cave) to all public access in order to perform an archaeological survey. For all intents and purposes, this temporary closure order should be considered a *permanent* closure order.
Impacts to the cave's nationally significant archaeological resources are the major concern.

Description
This line was the hardest established line in Crystal Cave until recently when Cody Roth did the lines with the alternate finishes out the roof. Featured in the 2009 Real Rock Film Tour Contest this line was originally considered 13d, however some alternate beta reduces the crux down to a more manageable V8 or V9 and in my opinion 13c.
Start just right of Dope, further back in the cave, on a positive shelf reached from cheater stones. From here make entertaining gymnastic moves on mostly good holds to get up to the crux. Some creative footwork makes this section easier. From here pull the powerful crux (V8 or so) to gain the rest stance on Dope. Rest up and fire the rest of Dope for the send.
