Okay, here it is! This is all the NM climbing links I've ever stumbled across. Some are very good, and very informative. Others are obviously the efforts of lackwits and numbskulls. Make of them what you will.

Of course, you can also return to the LA climbing update


First, the best of them all - the most excellent Los Alamos Online Rock Guide


Another good Los Alamos resource is the Los Alamos Mountaineers


Now online is a miniguide to an excellent beginner area in White Rock - the Gallow's Edge.


Want to find out about LA weather? Look at the Weather Channel's Los Alamos page to get the latest (usually wrong) forecast!


There's a wonderful online guide to Palomas Peak (in the Sandias) that is maintained by Bernard Moret of UNM. It is currently being self-published by Bernard, you can find out how to buy it (for a minimal fee) at his site. Folks, you can't beat Bernard's accuracy! He's a Palomas local who has obviously spent quite a bit of time on this. Bernard has added a large crag photo (showing the different areas) accurate topos, and some action shots of various climbers and routes. The best guide to Palomas you can get, bar none. Palomas Peak Online Guide


The Las Conchas Online Guide covers about 40 routes at this fairly small area in the Jemez mountains.


The El Rito Sport Climbing Guide has 45 routes and directions for this northern NM hotspot.


There's also a fairly incomplete guide to climbing at the Enchanted Tower online. It's by no means comprehensive, but at least the ratings are a little more accurate than those in previously published guides.


Alf's Datil Guide also has some good info and pictures - but only of the tower itself, not of the surrounding crags. If you don't know Alf, you're missing out! He's a unique, friendly guy who you'll probably run into if you're at the Tower.


There's also one other site that has some decent info on Datil - by someone from the University of Wyoming. Decent directions, if nothing much else. One nice picture.Click here to see it.


The DOME Online has info on Los Alamos' best source of climbing gear and information - Scottie Beguin's DOME shop. (661-DOME). Also featured are some cool pictures of Diablo canyon, plus mountain biking pictures and other fine stuff.


The El Rito TRAD Crag is online at the LAMC web site, courtesy of Gary Clark. This is the new, non-PDF format guide, I assume the PDF format one is still available at the LAMC site.


The Cochiti Mesa Online Guide includes some useful information on how to find the crags, and also has a few route descriptions. It's published by the same habitual bunglers that brought us the Colorado and New Mexico "comprehensive" guides - Falcon press.


The NM Women's Climbing Club site has info on this great resource for (primarily Albuquerque) female climbing enthusiasts.


In blatant violation of Geocities' "no commercial sites" policy, the Albuquerque Rock Gym has a web page. I really recommend the new one, though, if you insist on climbing indoors.


Theo Takeda's Web page has some good LA climbing photos, and various dumb jokes. If you know Theo, you'll be amused, if you don't, you'll just get really confused.


Andy Mayer's Web Page has some good climbing photos of himself and friends all over New Mexico, and a few other places. Andy has also put together a rough online guide to U-mound bouldering


Pictures of Socorro can be found at this NM Tech site. Includes a very nice picture of the Waterfall wall, the other pictures are of lesser quality.


Climbing in FARMINGTON?!? That's right! Check the page out for some photos and info on area climbing.


There's also a page of decent pictures by a dude named Dave, check out his "Dave's World" page


Here's a site that features some Enchanted Tower and Sitting Bull Falls photos that are pretty nice.


Visit Lance Diamond's tribute to his own ego, on the Diamond Info Site. Lance has thoughtfully included random, stolen information on several NM and TX climbing areas, as well as thousands and thousands of pictures of...Lance... move by move pictures of Lance on the 45-degree wall... mislabeled pictures of Tres Piedras... the fun never ends. a White Rock section is supposedly in the works. I can't wait.


Gary is a good fellow. His brother Ben, as far as I can tell, is also a cool dude. Ben's Climbing Page has some photos of Hueco and Datil, plus a few links.


Santa Fe is expensive. So waste your filthy lucre on the climbing habit - take a look at the Wild Mountain Outfitters site.


Some weird company in Albuquerque called "Sportz Outdoor" has a website on NM climbing, though there isn't anything there yet. Sportz Outdoor Web Site


Want NM climbing advice from some fool who has never been here? Then take a look at the "Travel Adviser" at this site. Starwave Travel Advisor


Here's a site which provides some largely incoherent advice on climbing at the Y and the Socorro box canyon, written by some random gumby. Moose's web page


UNM's Mountaineering club has a page that has not been maintained in quite a while. UNM Mountaineering Page


Want to hire a guide to climb around Taos? Then look at the Mountain Skills web page The site also features a few pictures of climbing in Taos and at Tres Piedras.


Other Climbing Links

I've also collected a few other nice climbing links, which have little or nothing to do with NM. Enjoy!

Rock and Ice Online has occasional news reports, a few "local updates", but really isn't updated enough to make it worth looking at more than once a month or so.


Climbing Magazine also has a site, featuring short blurbs from their print magazine. Not a very good site, really.


Rock and Groove Online is an online magazine of (infrequently updated) gossip. Often scoops R&I, though it doesn't cover things in depth.


Tim Toula's Rock and Road is a collection of shallow, innaccurate information on crags all across the US. The NM section in particular is terrible, but as a very general resource, it can be useful.


Rockclimbing.com is a site devoted to Utah rock climbing. It started out well, and is still a useful resource, but has not been updated much of late.


The Climbing Archive is a decent resource for stories, online guidebooks, and has a nice partners index. As with most things, it is only infrequently updated. Low graphics, high content.


The Pipe Online contains some serious trad ranting, by climbers from the Southeast. You may not agree with their opinions, but they're entertaining and they give a shit, which is more than you can say for most people.


Sportextreme contains random information about climbs in Europe. No directions, and no information, as far as I can tell. But loads of route names. Not really sure what the point of the site is, but I was asked to provide a link by its creator. If it doesn't improve dramatically, I'll remove this link.
