Start at 5.9 trad corner or single bolt face up to finger crack.  Move through broken rock on easier terrain (caution loose rock) to pumpy jug haul finish on face. Broken, but good (sorta like the Mountain P-rejects party that climbed it).   A pivotal moment in Taos art history happened on a sunny fall day in 1898. It happened with a broken wagon wheel. That wheel was on a horse-drawn carriage transporting two European-trained east coast artists to Mexico. Bert G. Phillips and Ernest L. Blumenschein stayed in the Taos area to have the wheel repaired, became enchanted with the light and the rich culture and stayed. Word spread in Paris, New York, and St Louis; associates of the two artists began visiting Taos. In 1915, the first formal meeting of the Taos Society of Artists was held with six members present. Over the next few years the membership grew to twelve. Prime examples of the work created by these artists are on display at Harwood Museum of Art, Taos Art Museum at the Fechin Home, and Blumenschein Home and Museum.

Start on large block in recess.  Layback crack and stem to high first bolt.  Move up past second bolt to the business.  Tricky feet with small holds/campus ladder in overhanging shallow corner to jug left of 4th bolt. May want to stick clip first bolt or bring fists size cam.

Very fun, pumpy finish on nice rock with varied climbing. Start on low bench in left facing corner opposite Manslaughter of the Improbable.  Climb lower blocks to stemming corner and top out between pillars. Good rest for crux above.  Match on large hold (solid on FA but reinforced with epoxy to secure it) and rock over roof (crux).

Seriously, it's climbing.  Start on sharp layback in corner.  Stem up to v-slot and make hard moves to easy climbing above. Bombay slot is crux.

Finger to hand crack at lowest point of wall

Short but interesting climbing through cleaved bulge to final jug that doubtless will hold a little "tierra sagrado" for some time.  Run out the low angle steps to a final bolt and pocketed headwall. 

Chimayo is worth the visit if traveling to or from Santa Fe.

Walk up broken ramp from right to low first bolt on face.  Bouldery start (crux) to crimper at right then to good stance and safe 2nd clip. 

  "And you don't dance to techno anymore    I dont see you under the strobe light on the dancefloor    Its been a while since I saw your ultraviolet smile    You dont dance to techno anymore"

Left facing corner to shallow stemming dihedral (technical crux).  Large ledge with rest to final pocketed face.

Oh! Give me a home...   Technical face climb up to overhang. Sustained jug haul through roof to two finger pocket with spicy finish.  Nice test at grade.

Where seldom is heard...   Furthest upstream wall, traverse under either tier to the north. Feels remote.   Short basalt crag with north facing wall.  Full sun in full summer.  Earliest shade in spring/fall.
