This is always a good warm up lead for me after no climbing for a while. A little cool at the start; but it warmed up nicely.

At the far left of the wall are some anchors at the top of the rock above a series of left sloping cracks. I led up the cracks moving up an left with the last one or two moves up the face to the anchors. I think the lead is 5.7. We then top roped a more direct route up the bottom crack to the anchors which was a little harder, 5.8. I think the anchor also serve Ow Now, on the far left.

Great climb. Despite the hot weather, we found shade at most of the belays. Jim did an excellent job leading two of the best pitches, pitch 1 and 4. I lead pitch 2 and 3, and my brother lead pitch 5.

Great climb. I set the first peice and backed down, My buddy Jim, set the next peice and another peice real close and backed down. I finished leading the climb. The guide book says two pitchs but I made it in one with a short 50m rope (part of it was cut off) and with my buddy Jim simil-climbing to the first piece (10-15 ft up).

It's mean and green but with a little taming it could be a good climb. I led half of the second pitch starting from the small pinon above the Seamingly Obvious 5.8 layback move. I climb up the open book crack, over some bushes, and then left over the Arête (which separates “Kermit the Frog” from the bolted face route “Another Pair of Shoes” (this is as far as I got), follow a small open book up and right back across the arête, continue a pair of cracks, finish by crossing back left over the arête, and climbing easier rock to the top.

Excelent, as I was loward down the face I though no way. Ist time started at the bottem of an alcove 30ft up from the saddle above the Sentinal, climbed up and left under an overhang then left onto the face and a flake to the top. 2nd time (Sep 28) I led from the bottom but didn't finish due to rain. Great rock and possiblities for good small to medium pro. Oct 05 Redpoint accent

After seconding Estrellita we lowered down and top roped this climb from the same belay point. This climb 5.7 was not much easier than Estrellita 5.8. I enjoyed this climb a lot also. I top roped it twice. From the belay point to the bottom, including the climber tie in, used up just over half of a 60m rope.

| 5.7 | Redeemer (5.7 variation) | 91m | Sandia Mountain | Wed 10th May 2006 | ||||
Around the corner from where the top map shows Redeemer is a large dihedral (or gully). At the top of the gully we moved right onto the ridge and up to the top of the gully for the 1st belay (I noticed holds and a two bolt anchor if we would have moved left onto the left face of the gully). The first pitch had good rock. On the second pitch I followed good and bad rock up and left into a small chimney and belayed Jim from a chock stone in the chimney. Jim stepped right across the chock stone to the face and followed easy (5.5) but exposed ramps to the top. The climb was ok but kind of junky with mixed rock and some scrambling, the bottom and top 3rd was more consistent and better rock

This was my second time on this climb, first time was in 2004. This time I stayed on route, brave the exposure. I had to set a belay at, what I call, the 60m tree.

Jim did the first and third pitches. I did most of the route finding, and I intentially picked one of the easiest routes for my first trip to the mountain. This route was fairly straight forward.

| 5.5 | ★★ West Face Traverse | 91m | Sandia Mountain | ★★★ Classic | Tue 29th Aug 2006 | |||
This rock has some great moderate face moves (a test for my limits), I would say classic despite the route described below.
We set out to climb West Face Direct, but when I got to the cliff face about 15ft to the left and below the starting bolts of West Face Direct, I decided to try going straight up on some face and crack moves. I made it approximately 2/3rds the way up the face and crack when I was stopped by difficult move to get up to some knobs above me. I lowered and traversed over to the West Face Direct crack, traversed farther left, and set a belay on the West Face Travers ledge between West Face Direct and the West Face Traverse 1st pitch. We finished the climb on the 5.5 face of the West Face Traverse second pitch.

| 5.8 | ★ Cow Flop Crack | Las Conchas | ★ Good | Wed 24th May 2006 | ||||
According to the guide this climb is the crack in the middle of the wall. We set a top rope with slings at the top to the rock. There were bolted routes with anchors about 2/3rds up the rock to the left and right. I would rate the climb up the crack much harder, maybe 5.9 at least 5.8+. I tried twice and failed, Jim tried twice and failed, and then I tried again and made it but hung on the rope 3 or 4 times. The crux was definitely at the 2nd, 4th, and 5th moves.

Easy Slab, but we shuttled 6 people up 2 pitches and a little more. I went up in the middle or the group to handle the hanging belay station where we had people on the 2nd pitch while I belayed others up the 1st. Our 60m ropes was a little short to run two people up (one in the middle and one at the end) so the last 15ft or so we had two people simultaneous climbing on one rope. We reached the top of Enchanted Rock at sunset. It was fun and beautiful, the perfect end to a day or climbing..
