First Ascent

An interesting route. Most of it is fairly easy, but there is a crux where the holds get a bit thin. You traverse across a short strip of protruding holds (I did it as a foot traverse with thin handholds, I think my partner did it as a hand traverse which is more strenuous) in the middle which I thought was about 5.8+. It actually started to rain before I was finished leading, thus the lame name.

First Ascent

An obvious line, not quite as interesting as Leftist Tendoncies. Still, good rock and nice medium climbing difficulty.

First Ascent

A nice route. It changes from a face climb to a dihedral/crack about half way through. From the top you can walk South to climb something on Science Friction wall, or walk down to the North and to the trail if it is raining.

First Ascent onsight flash

Stellar route. The first one we ever climbed on the first day we discovered Windward Wall. The obvious line up the obvious crack in the middle-right side of the wall. I originally wanted to rate this 5.9+, but subsequent climbers have preferred a rating of 5.10a. The wind was blowing crazy strong that day, which can happen in the Sandias on many routes.

First Ascent

Fantastic route. We tried different options on toprope before finalizing the line. Amazing quality and variety of climbing, multiple cruxes. Originally I wanted to rate it 5.10+, but others thought it should be 5.11a, so that is the consensus.

Red Point ascent by: moosekas on 1992-07-07 (View Climbing Log)

First Ascent

It was at the limit of my technical ability at that time. Though it is a short route, there are 2 or 3 cruxes. Exciting because it goes up the far end of the formation with high exposure.

Flash ascent by: moosekas on 1992-07-10 (View Climbing Log)

First Ascent

Enjoyed it immensely. Very fun route with lots of exposure for a short climb. Most will want to place a couple of medium stoppers on the top section, but it is easier so they are optional.
