Access Issue: Do Not Climb On or Around Rock Shelters and Pictographs Details

17th century rock shelters and pictographs exist in this area. Climbers must be mindful of these cultural resources and avoid climbing on or around them. In June 2024 it was discovered that two new routes had been bolted in or near these resources next to the Roof Wall. The routes will be removed per the forest service.

Description

This challenging power endurance route is one of the best at New Canyon. While short, nearly every move is challenging. Start on good holds with one trick section to the second bolt. Pull the crux on sharp crimps and get a quick shake at the third. From there big moves on crimps lead to a challenging 4th clip and easier moves to the top of the wall. Once topping out, it is easy to down climb to the anchors on "Lights On"

Gets a mention as one of the best short routes in New Mexico in the New Mexibolts article of climbing #273.

Location

On the Power wall towards the start of New Canyon. The first 2 bolts are shared with the new addition "Lights On". To the right is "The Pervert and the Hammer", to the left is "The Need to Bleed"
