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 route while it doesn't look like much has a fun and difficult boulder problem between easier sections of climbing. Start with Minutia and follow jugs for the first two bolts. After clipping the second bolt, make a hard left and enter the crux. A difficult (and somewhat terrifying third clip) on bad holds and a heel toe cam, lead into powerful compression moves. Make a final throw to a jug and continue up two more bolts of 5.9 choss to the anchors.
Be extremely careful on the clip, your back is only about 7 feet of the ground while clipping, we used a crashpad here just in case.
I'm guessing the boulder problem is V8 which puts the grade at 13b since there isn't much of an endurance aspect. Although the boulder problem may be harder so it may end up being 13c.
