Waterflow, NM

Warning Access Issue: Don’t block the road DetailsDrop down

Description

The rock here is sandstone. It hasn't had a lot of traffic in the last 10-20 years. Some of the stuff doesn't have top anchors so bring stuff to make your own anchors. Not a good place for your (or one of your) first outdoor expeditions, the only nearby(ish) place I would recommend would be Cox Canyon.

Getting There

The coordinates will take you to the parking/approach for the main crag. Once you hit the first light in Waterflow when coming from Farmington then take a right and drive about 0.1 miles until you see a dirt road on your right.

Don’t block the road

Please park off to the side/out of the way of the dirt road.

[Hide Comment] Bring a helmet! Rock quality is currently extremely dangerous! I will be cleaning up these routes since I live in the area. Almost had a microwave size boulder hit me in the head today when I was top rope soloing. Be very careful ladies and gentleman, especially if you are going out here to climb alone. Sep 3, 2024
[Hide Comment] This crag is in need of some serious TLC. Multiple climbs are missing hangers for their anchors. I’m taking it upon myself to replace all the hangers at this crag using my own money. I want to make this place safer for me and everyone else who wants to climb here.
Love you guys Nov 23, 2024
