	5.6	FA Southeast Buttress	Trad 180m	Average	Jim Olsen	Sun 24th Nov 1963
FFA. Plenty of rotten basalt. I rapidly learned how to dodge falling rocks. One, about the size of a baseball cracked the helmet liner I was using for a climbing helmet. Because of emissions from coal fired plants in the area the quality of the rock now is probably worse. Can't climb on it anyhow now because the Navajos don't want you on this, one of thier sacred mountains.

New Mexico San Juan Basin Volcanic Necks Cabezon Peak
	5.5	FA ★ Mad Hatter's Tea Party	Trad 140m	★ Good	Jim Olsen	Wed 17th May 2006
FFA. I think this is the first technical climb on Cabizon. A few 5.5 moves, a lot of consistant 5.3-5.4. We hope to do some more there. Camping out the night before was great
	5.5	FA ★ Mad Hatter's Tea Party	Trad 140m	Average	Fritz Devendorf	Wed 17th May 2006
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.

Nice face climb.

New Mexico Sangre de Cristo Mountains Pecos River Area Cathedral Rock
	5.8	★★ Easy Air	Sport 14m, 6	★ Good	Jim Olsen	Sun 28th Aug 2011
Liked it, but the first part was a bit ledgy.

Traversed over from Easy Air to set top-rope.
	5.9	★ Road Rage	Trad 14m	★ Good	Jim Olsen	Sun 28th Aug 2011
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.
	5.7	★ Bypass	Trad 14m	★ Good	Jim Olsen	Sun 28th Aug 2011
Better than it looks. Finished on lumpy face to right.
New Mexico Sangre de Cristo Mountains Deception Peak Old Mossy Crag

New Mexico Sangre de Cristo Mountains Santa Fe Ski Basin Sunset Crag
	5.9	FA ★★ Knight Moves	Trad 12m	★ Good	Jim Olsen	Wed 15th Jul 2009
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.
New Mexico Sangre de Cristo Mountains Sierra Pelado
	5.8	FA ★★ Luna de Cazadores	Trad 23m	★ Good	Jim Olsen	Wed 24th Oct 2007
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)
	5.5	FA Dos Tipos Viejos	Trad 26m	Don't Bother	Jim Olsen	Wed 6th Aug 1997
Chimney, a bit brushy and a bit dirty.
New Mexico Sangre de Cristo Mountains Porvenir Canyon
	5.7	FA ★★ Maze	Trad 67m	★★ Very Good	Jim Olsen	Tue 21st Sep 2004
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.

Spent too long hanging in the steep crack trying to figure out how to clip the last bolt. It should probably be skipped, it's too far out of the way.

	5.8	★★ Reuben - with Fritz Devendorf	Sport 14m, 4	★ Good	Jim Olsen	Sun 3rd Nov 2013
The crux is about the last 5' to the last bolt before the chains. I led and sidled a bit left and back to get to that last bolt.

FFA.
New Mexico Albuquerque Sandia Mountain Mexican Breakfast
	5.9	★★★ Mexican Breakfast Crack	Unknown 150m	★★ Very Good	Sam Glaser	Sun 20th May 2007
Pitch one is terrific. If pitch two weren't so short and loose I would have given it "classic" status. We approached via Torreon, then scrambled down the S side of the Mexican Breakfast formation (though I think you could easily hike down the N side). After climbing, we hiked out the La Luz. That probably took us an extra half-hour, but it was less strenuous and more scenic.

14.5 hours car to car. With Mark. Mark led pitches 1, 2, 5, 7, 10, & 12; I led pitches 3, 4, 6, 9, & 11. We unroped for pitch 8. I clipped loose and rusted pitons, slung trees, almost pulled a microwave-sized block onto myself, wiggled up strange slabby off-widths—in other words, had a full-on Sandia day!

New Mexico Albuquerque Sandia Mountain Andy Boy Wall
	5.9	★★ unknown variation	Unknown 30m	★ Good	Jim Olsen	Sun 11th Oct 2009
It was better than I expected. I was going to do the 5.9 unknown, which is all stemming and layback on a crack in a corner, but I wound up instead using more face than corner.
	5.9	★★★ unknown	Trad 30m	★★ Very Good	Jim Olsen	Wed 13th Oct 2010
A real mental workout.
	5.9	★★★ 5.8 My Ass	Sport 30m	★★ Very Good	Jim Olsen	Wed 9th Sep 2009
Fritz's toe was sore; so only I climbed it, twice. But it was just what I needed. Then storms threatened.
New Mexico Albuquerque Sandia Mountain Yucca Flower Tower Area
	5.8	Aces and Eights	Trad 55m	Average	Jim Olsen	Sun 30th Aug 2009
Fritz and I had to rap down and climb out to do this one. A little unnerving considering it had some loose, formed a steep gully and protecting yourself on belay slightly iffy.
New Mexico Albuquerque Sandia Mountain Donald Duck
	5.8	★★ Northeast Corner	Trad 34m	★ Good	Jim Olsen	Wed 1st Aug 2007
Listed in Hill's Guide to the Sandias as 5.6, actually 5.8. Big crack swallows up #3.5 Camalots. We had to reuse the sameone three times on the climb. Took a tumble near the top, made it on next try. Real pumpy. We had to climb, set pro, go down and rest, switch leads, climb further, set pro go down and rest, etc.
New Mexico Albuquerque Sandia Mountain Fire Hydrant
	5.6	Northwest Face	Trad 34m	Average	Jim Olsen	Tue 24th Jul 2007
Toward the top I got ancy about making the moves I wanted (layback to mantle), because the ton and a half rock I wanted to use moves. So I went up a rather nasty little chimney (pumpy 5.7-5.7+).
New Mexico Albuquerque Sandia Mountain Tridents
	5.6	★★ Lost Line Variation (Lost Line)	Trad 180m	★★ Very Good	Jim Olsen	Wed 13th Jun 2007
We started about 100' to the right of Lost Line. The route joins Lost Line at the second belay point. Top half of the Third pitch features a fun arete (total 5 pitches). Slings at first belay point indicate it's been climbed often on.
	5.6	★★ Lost Line	Trad 180m	★ Good	Jim Olsen	Sun 30th Sep 2007
The standard ascent route starts up a chimney with some loose 20 to 40 pound boulders you need to hang on to climb it, so I moved 15' around the corner up a face (Fritz pointed out) which still had some, much more manageable loose rocks, for the first pitch. The rest was on the standard route.
New Mexico Albuquerque Sandia Mountain Techweeny Buttress
	5.8	★★ Crackula	Trad 50m	★★ Very Good	Fritz Devendorf	Sun 5th Nov 2006
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).
	5.8	★★ Crackula	Trad 50m	★★ Very Good	Jim Olsen	Sun 5th Nov 2006
My rope is only about 145' long now, so we synchro-climbed part of the route. Fritz led 90% of it. He did a great job on a route that leant itself to complex climbing styles.
New Mexico Albuquerque Sandia Mountain Estrellita
	5.7	★ Beat Around the Bush	Trad 30m	Average	Jim Olsen	Wed 2nd Aug 2006
After taking a 5.8 lead it was time to relax, i thought, and toproped this one. This climb didn't seem much easier than the one i just did.
	5.7	★ Beat Around the Bush	Trad 30m	★★ Very Good	Fritz Devendorf	Wed 2nd Aug 2006
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.
	5.8	★★★ Estrellita	Trad 30m	★★★ Mega Classic	Jim Olsen	Wed 2nd Aug 2006
Great climb, yahoo! Just what i needed to get me out of a funk i was in. No big muscle moves needed.
	5.8	★★★ Estrellita	Trad 30m	★★★ Classic	Fritz Devendorf	Wed 2nd Aug 2006
For one pitch this climb was great. The most fun I've had in a long time. Jim lowered me back down to top roped it a second time.
	5.8	★★★ Estrellita	Trad 30m		Ike Miller	Fri 30th Jul 2021
Followed Mark. Fun route! Would like to come back and lead it
New Mexico Albuquerque Sandia Mountain Hole in the Wall
	5.8	Kermit the Frog	Trad 73m	Average	Fritz Devendorf	Tue 18th Jul 2006
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.
	5.8	FA Kermit the Frog	Trad 73m	Average	Jim Olsen	Tue 18th Jul 2006
FFA. Takes off of Miss Piggy. Would be better (good) if someone would ascend it with a wire brush (for the lichens) and small plant trimmers.
	5.8	★★ Miss Piggy	Alpine 73m	★★ Very Good	Jim Olsen	Sat 2nd Sep 2006
Led the bottom pitch and toproped the top pitch a coupla months ago. Then I seconded it with Carl D. I'm starting to grock the possibilities on the crux moves on the first pitch.
	5.8	★★ Miss Piggy	Alpine 73m	★★ Very Good	Fritz Devendorf	Tue 18th Jul 2006
I followed Jim up the first pitch, the 5.8 layback. At the top of the crux (but not over the crux) I rested on the rope to remove some pro and to straighten out the equipment troubles (I almost lost my sunglasses. We got off route at the top of the 5.8 layback (see the climb “Kermit the Frog”; but, we climbed the second pitch by lowering down from the top (top rope).
	5.8 5.8 I	★★ Miss Piggy	Alpine 73m		Ike Miller	Fri 30th Jul 2021
Tried to lead the first pitch but it seemed too spicy for where I am currently as a trad leader. Got up to the top of the wide-ish crack below the layback and then decided to downclimb. Followed Mark on both pitches. Very fun climbing, especially the lieback! We had some routefinding difficulties on pitch two
	5.7	Redeemer (5.7 variation)	Trad 91m		Fritz Devendorf	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
	5.7	Redeemer (5.7 variation)	Trad 91m	Don't Bother	Jim Olsen	Wed 10th May 2006
Route alternates between loose, blocky stuff and good rock.
New Mexico Albuquerque Sandia Mountain Gemstone East
	5.5	★★ Flake 'n Bake	Trad 37m	★ Good	Jim Olsen	Sat 11th Oct 2008
Weird weather; high winds, heavy clouds, scud, spotty rain;so we decided to do something easy.
	5.7 5.7 I	★ Opal	Alpine 85m	★ Good	Fritz Devendorf	Wed 12th Oct 2005
I like this rock, it is different granit than higher in the sandias. I led the 1st pitch but traversed left and then up one of the crack systems that lead to the upper face (set a belay at 200ft). Jim followed but went on lead ~25ft below me to traverse right and then up to get back on route. I led the last pitch past the normal 2nd belay to the anchor chains at the top. I thought it was fun. An 55m and 30m rap tooks us back to our packx.
	5.7 5.7 I	★ Opal	Alpine 85m	★ Good	Jim Olsen	Wed 12th Oct 2005
We had to go offroute because it probably rained the day before and some of the wet streaks were where one would put their feet. There was a nice foot move on the first pitch. The second (half) pitch had some nice friction/minimal hold work; good for my concentration. This variation appears more difficult than the standard Opal route. We found that Hills guidebook said 150' from the top rappell bolts. It's more like 175'.
	5.7 5.7 II	★ Revenge of the Elderly	Alpine 91m	★ Good	Fritz Devendorf	Mon 9th Apr 2012
Another good assent of an old favorite.
	5.9	★★★ Emerald City	Alpine 85m	★★★ Mega Classic	Jim Olsen	Sat 24th May 2008

New Mexico Albuquerque Sandia Mountain East Sentinal
	5.5	Jimminy Chimminy	Top rope 30m	Don't Bother	Jim Olsen	Wed 21st Sep 2005
If you are fat don't try this one. Kind of dusty with curly dried up lichens.
	5.7	FA ★★★ Osa	Trad 35m	★★★ Classic	Jim Olsen	Wed 21st Sep 2005
Cool moves; nice exposure
	5.7	FA ★★★ Osa	Trad 35m	★★★ Classic	Fritz Devendorf	Wed 21st Sep 2005
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
New Mexico Albuquerque Sandia Mountain Tombstone
	5.8	★ unnamed	Trad 73m	Average	Jim Olsen	Sun 26th Aug 2007
Don't know if it's been climbed before; probably has. About 20+ feet left of West Face direct. Crack curves to the right and edges are roundded.
	5.8	★★ West Face Direct	Unknown 79m	★★ Very Good	Fritz Devendorf	Wed 14th Sep 2005
I completed 1.5 pitches. It was great rock. We ended up bailing out due to time and our conditioning at the time.
	5.8	★★ West Face Direct	Unknown 79m	★ Good	Jim Olsen	Sat 21st Jun 2008
The climb encourages some exquisite moves 30 to 40 feet up second pitch. It was a learning experience leading the first 10 feet of the climb. Was fortunate to lead most of the climb.
	5.8	★ West Face - Left Side	Trad 79m	★ Good	Jim Olsen	Sat 28th Jun 2008
Fritz led the hard lead. I led the easy one. There are almost 3 5.8 cruxes (if that's possible).
	5.5	★★ West Face Traverse	Trad 91m	★★★ Classic	Fritz Devendorf	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.
