	5.7	FA ★★ Twelfth of Never - with Fritz	Trad 12m	★ Good	Jim Olsen
I first planned to climb about 6 to 10 feet to the right on the bulge of the buttress, but questioned the rock quality there. Twelfth of Never has good rock, but we didn't clean a few loose rocks on nearby ledges.

El Rito Trad
	5.7	FA ★★★ Senile Superhero	Trad 100m	★★★ Classic	Jim Olsen
FFA. Wow. I discovered this one purely by accident; luckily got off route on the Guillotine. The start of the second pitch has a lot of character. Bring a little sling material and a 3 or 3.5 cam for the second belay spot (it's an adiquite belay only).
Wed 19th Oct 2011 - Las Conchas

	5.8	★ Planet of the Apes	Sport 12m	★★ Very Good	Jim Olsen
I sent it by going over the arete edge and back. More fun this way; you notice the exposure. Fritz seconded.
Sun 17th Oct 2010 - Tres Piedras
Mosaic Rock

Only about 10' of the climb is 5.8. Climbed with Fritz.

Wed 15th Jul 2009 - Sangre de Cristo Mountains
Santa Fe Ski Basin Sunset Crag
	5.9	FA ★★ Knight Moves	Trad 12m	★ Good	Jim Olsen
Climb really like Knight Moves; up over, up back and over up. Need another climb on this crag for a checkmate. Nice well protected route using up to number 2 Camalots.

	5.8	★★ Albuquerque Route	Sport 21m	★★ Very Good	Jim Olsen
Felt good.
Sat 21st Jun 2008 - Sandia Mountain
Tombstone
	5.8	★★ West Face Direct	Unknown 79m	★ Good	Jim Olsen
The climb encourages some exquisite moves 30 to 40 feet up second pitch. It was a learning experience leading the first 10 feet of the climb. Was fortunate to lead most of the climb.
Wed 24th Oct 2007 - Sangre de Cristo Mountains
Sierra Pelado
	5.8	FA ★★ Luna de Cazadores	Trad 23m	★ Good	Jim Olsen
The crux was exposed, with balance, and the way I did it, a muscley dynamic move. Pro at the crux is a little sketchy. Hesitant about leading it. We were first up(Fun afternoon)
Wed 26th Sep 2007 - Tres Piedras
Mosaic Rock
	5.7	★ Chickenheads	Unknown 35m	★ Good	Jim Olsen
Some rope drag. One of my placements didn't help that. Mostly slinged chickenheads for pro.
Wed 4th Oct 2006 - El Rito
El Rito Trad
	5.6	★ Refritos	Trad 80m	★★ Very Good	Fritz Devendorf
I felt really good this time, a much better lead climb. And my placements were bomber. I also finished of the 2nd pitch. Both pitches were excelent.

Tue 18th Jul 2006 - Sandia Mountain
Hole in the Wall
	5.8	FA Kermit the Frog	Trad 73m	Average	Jim Olsen
FFA. Takes off of Miss Piggy. Would be better (good) if someone would ascend it with a wire brush (for the lichens) and small plant trimmers.

	5.7	★ Herby Goes Bananas	Sport 11m	★★ Very Good	Fritz Devendorf

Wed 17th May 2006 - San Juan Basin Volcanic Necks
Cabezon Peak
	5.5	FA ★ Mad Hatter's Tea Party	Trad 140m	Average	Fritz Devendorf
Jim did the first and third pitches. I did most of the route finding, and I intentially picked one of the easiest routes for my first trip to the mountain. This route was fairly straight forward.
	5.5	FA ★ Mad Hatter's Tea Party	Trad 140m	★ Good	Jim Olsen
FFA. I think this is the first technical climb on Cabizon. A few 5.5 moves, a lot of consistant 5.3-5.4. We hope to do some more there. Camping out the night before was great

East Sentinal
	5.7	FA ★★★ Osa	Trad 35m	★★★ Classic	Fritz Devendorf
Excelent, as I was loward down the face I though no way. Ist time started at the bottem of an alcove 30ft up from the saddle above the Sentinal, climbed up and left under an overhang then left onto the face and a flake to the top. 2nd time (Sep 28) I led from the bottom but didn't finish due to rain. Great rock and possiblities for good small to medium pro. Oct 05 Redpoint accent

Tue 21st Sep 2004 - Sangre de Cristo Mountains
Porvenir Canyon
	5.7	FA ★★ Maze	Trad 67m	★★ Very Good	Jim Olsen
FFA. Craig by 11th stream crossing. Both pitches are ramps. Second turns into face. Some offbalance moves, last of which turns into muscle moves on face. Flip-flops for crossing stream come in handy.

Ship Rock Area Ship Rock
	5.6	FA Southeast Buttress	Trad 180m	Average	Jim Olsen
FFA. Plenty of rotten basalt. I rapidly learned how to dodge falling rocks. One, about the size of a baseball cracked the helmet liner I was using for a climbing helmet. Because of emissions from coal fired plants in the area the quality of the rock now is probably worse. Can't climb on it anyhow now because the Navajos don't want you on this, one of thier sacred mountains.
