Start at right of wall. Clipping the fourth bolt is a little tedious. Getting past the third and fourth bolt is the crux.

Stiff boulders start from pilar. 3rd bolt hard clip with sustained climbing to follow.

Two crux sections...one on the slab and on the upper headwall. Cool route with great variety.

Great climbing with the technical crux low and the redpoint crux up high.

Slabby start leads to hard crux move getting off a ledge.

“Amazing climbing on iron hard basalt. One of the best routes I have done on basalt in NM. Classic!” Bob D

Protect lower crack with cam, climb through strenuous lieback to stiff finish.  May need additional bolt.

Crux at brief layback to large incuts and pockets after third bolt.  Rananim: the utopian community D.H. Lawrence intended to found in Northern New Mexico (Rananim is hebrew for "Land of Exultation")

First area Bob D'Antonio and I started when setting this crag in the Spring of 2007.  Mostly sport, some mixed and a few classic trad pieces in sound, clean stone. Expect solitude, which means low traffic and no chalk marks.   

  These are new routes and they might still give up a hold or two so a helmet is recommended.
