Start below the beige hangers towards the right side of the Slope City wall. Climb several difficult moves to a good sharp edge block below the 4th bolt. Continue up with long moves to the crux section at bolt 6. Climb wild moves up between the 2 giant cobbles and reach a "quasi" rest below the final roof. Continue to the right and a few more powerful moves take you through this steep section to the chains.

Start to the right of Slope-oke moving past small blobs and large side pull cobbles toward a steep bulge. Make a move left at the 3rd bolt and then diagonal up right to the next clip. Continue above this with a long reach just past the 5th bolt. Cruxy moves follow heading left with some small pinches or a real long reach to some "football" side pulls. A tricky .11- section finishes over the bulge to the final 5.10 headwall and anchors. A good pumpy 5.11 route

Diagonal right past 2 bolts to the main "large cobble line" on the left side of the wall. Continue up the big cobbles doing long reaches off large "footballs" to the 4th bolt. From here, make a real long reach to a good edge, followed by a few more tricky moves to a rest below a steep bulge at the 7th bolt. A few more difficult moves take you past this steep "corner" section to the final 5.10 headwall and the anchors.

You'll think you're at Maple Canyon!! This sector is the gently overhanging pink wall to the left of the Cobble Cave. No pockets like El Rito, this is climbing on softballs, basketballs and footballs! The overhanging part is about 55 feet tall to a vertical section which continues to about the 65'-70' height where the wall starts to slab out and the routes end. The matrix on this wall is REAL bad but IF it cleans up the climbs will be awesome! Some of the coolest movement in New Mexico on some of the state's worst rock! Don't let that stop you though, these routes are closely bolted and pretty fun.
