Excellent early lead. Great stances and you can really sew it up. Some nice moves sprinkled in too!

Unkown

Another south facing dihedral feature. A couple smooth moves to a nice horizontal crack at the mini "roof" leads to the crux pulling on the thin ledge onto the face to the right. Be sure to get an absolutely bomber piece into that vertical crack before pulling the move and have an attentive belay here. The ground fall would not be pretty. Eases up considerably to a nice saunter up the crack to the top.Anchor is a little tricky. Either large pieces or go far climber's left to a crack that'll take several small pieces. Bring a long cordelette and a couple supplemental slings. do NOT sling the jammed log or stump right at the top of the climb.

Follows a thin crack up to the tree at the edge of the cliff. Stay mostly to the right, then traverse left across the top of the slab and onto a small shelf below the tree. Could be made more difficult/exposed by climbing more of the left slab.

Crack that goes right from the ugly looking OW.

Climb to the right of the big roof. Climb up the face, finger jam the crack in the dihedral, work your way up, and pull the roof to the anchor.

Easy crack climb with some stemming. Easy to set up TR.

Following the crack straight up. A deceptively straightforward looking climb from the ground it takes a bit of thought and trust in vague feet. Fun though could be a dicey lead if you're not super solid. Stem out right and/or use the offwidth to make life maybe more bearable.If you build the anchor just right you can flip it around the corner (climber's left) and use the same placements for that climb as well after adjusting your master point.

Follow the crack/ramp on the right side of this alcove.

Easy start to a tricky crux working past the bulge. Trust the solid feet and blast past on so-so hands to the finish. Anchor is a little tricky, have some extra slings/long cordelette.

Small crag right next to the Sandia Ranger Station. Good beginner area. Easy to set up topropes. Short routes (30') with a good variety of face & crack. A couple of good overhangs for bouldering and traversing.
