Climbing Near Tijeras, New Mexico

Small crag right next to the Sandia Ranger Station. Good beginner area. Easy to set up topropes. Short routes (30') with a good variety of face & crack. A couple of good overhangs for bouldering and traversing. From the Ranger Station parking lot, walk South and the trail is clearly visible. About 50 yards to the crag. Visible from the road.

Backside of the boulder Due east of the trailhead

Justa couple of boulders. The main one is big and an obvious land mark, maybe 20 feet tall with 2 parrallel cracks running up the face and a cave under it. The other is a small boulder to the right with a good SDS problem on the arete starting from a big knob. From the entrance to the parking lot find the trail to the right and follow it up the steep hillside and continue on by the Parking Lot Boulders. Stay right at any reall junctions in the trail, you will still feel like you are going too far left. As you get close you will come to a wider sandy wash, weave your way through this then pick up a trail back right to the boulders.
