Ascents in Sangre de Cristo Mountains

Interesting route, but it appears not to be climbed much

Skirts around top of overhang. Should be rated 5.7 instead of 5.8

Nice face climb.

Traversed over from Easy Air to set top-rope.

Liked it, but the first part was a bit ledgy.

Oops! Good finger hold on crux careened off into space. I just turned a 5.9 climb into a 5.9+. But, I hand traversed left 5 or 6 feet, went up and back on route. It's fun doing it that way.

Better than it looks. Finished on lumpy face to right.

Fritz did it first, so he gets the first ascent.

Climb really like Knight Moves; up over, up back and over up. Need another climb on this crag for a checkmate. Nice well protected route using up to number 2 Camalots.

The crux was exposed, with balance, and the way I did it, a muscley dynamic move. Pro at the crux is a little sketchy. Hesitant about leading it. We were first up(Fun afternoon)

FFA. Craig by 11th stream crossing. Both pitches are ramps. Second turns into face. Some offbalance moves, last of which turns into muscle moves on face. Flip-flops for crossing stream come in handy.

Chimney, a bit brushy and a bit dirty.
