The plan is to initially meet at Santa Fe KOA campground. But participants are welcome to find other overnight location such as a B&B or free dispersed camping at local BLM/NF areas (we have lots of choices). Instructions will be sent to participants in reference to daily meeting points and Crag destinations.
Participants are expected to make travel arrangements, book overnights and rent/share a vehicle so that you can drive the Crag TH.
We can climb for 3 or 4 full days. It is up to the participants to choose to climb everyday or to take a day off and visit some of the local museums, restaurants, the beautiful historic downtown Santa Fe or explore a local hike at the Ski Basin ( at 10,300').
Is is expected that participants are comfortable with all the basic rock climbing skill set. And there will be plenty of route choices ranging from 5.6 to 5.12.
The goal of this outing is to explore some of the best local crags of Northern NM and to enjoy one of the oldest towns of the West.
Santa Fe was founded in 1610!
