A five bolt sport route on far right side of Cattle Call Wall. Feels awkward but climbs alright.

A nice addition to the Cattle Call Wall to the right of Cow Pies For Breakfast. Scramble up on a block to the first bolt. Move up to what I think is the coolest hold on the Cattle Call Wall--a nice right hand slot--to clip the second bolt. Cruise through the crux to good holds and then figure out how to move past the fourth bolt to the anchor.   

  Rated 5.10c/d by the FA but easier than it's neighbor, Cow Pies For Breakfast. We felt it was 5.10a or b-ish.

A fun sport route up steep but nicely featured rock. A cruxy start leads to another crux at the bulge between fourth and fifth bolts. Some avoid the crux by traversing left around bulge and regaining route above the bulge. That leaves a scary fall potential on lead but works well on TR.

Moderate vertical climbing leads to a steep crimpy headwall.

A gear lead or top rope from chains accessed from hike/scramble from backside.  Ratings for this seem to vary from 5.8 to 5.11 depending on how hard you want to make it.

'Jemez Rock' lists 2 "unnamed" routes right of the Ow Now slab and left of Bovine Inspiration and Eat Mor Chikin.  This climb, the left of the two Unnamed's, starts by turning a small cave (crux) and climbs right of an obvious black streak following mainly finger cracks. 

  Exit by traversing left on the walk-off ledge that forms the top of Ow Now.

This route is just left of Bovine Inspiration. A bouldery start leads to the first bolt. Move left a bit and then straight up on good holds over a couple bulges before the steeper finish.

A pretty fun extension to (06) Pie in Your Eye that follows steep, pumpy moves through a couple of bulges. This would be a better route if it stood alone, but it is unfortunately perched over one of the most popular beginner climbs in the state. Try not to project for too long on a busy day... 

  Note: The FA team thought this was 5.11, but my partner and I thought it was considerably easier, perhaps 5.10d. I'm not convinced it's harder than (07) Cow Pies for Breakfast.

Great moves and solid rock. One of the best routes in the area.

Steep climbing with the crux going past the third bolt.  Fairly "sequency" for clipping the bolt at the crux.  Challenging again going past the last bolt to the two-bolt anchor.  One of the best, if not the best, routes on the Cattle Call wall.

Climb the center of the overhang from a sit, requiring a long move/dyno to reach the juggy lip and a slightly tenuous mantel move to gain the slab above. Either drop off here, or scramble up the 5.5 ledges above (highball) and exit easily left on the walk-off ledge that forms the top of Ow Now. 

  V0 version: climb the left side using jugs to reach same finish   V1 version: layback the right side, also finishing at the top of the overhang.

A decent beginner lead marred by a bizarre start.Either boulder directly up to the first independent bolt (harder than 5.7, but reasonable), or traverse left from the first bolt of Pie In Your Eye. Follow moderate, low-angle rock to the chains.

A decent top rope or trad lead up cracks and some face holds through a couple of minor bulges.

A problem hiding in plain sight. Sit start 6 ft right of a small bulge and left of the sport route Eat Mor Chikin. Use a wide sloper pinch to gain a nice rail, then head up and slightly right on small pockets until you reach a good pocket, about 10ft off the deck. Drop, or make a few more moves up and traverse left to exit as for Cattle Call Dyno. 

  A short testpiece, the hardest thing on the wall currently.

Frustrating start because it's so undercut but once you get started, it's fun stuff.  Crux is definitely getting off the ground. A "cheater" block rock shows up at the base of the route from time to time. Easier climbing after the first bolt on laid-back rock with more friction-type moves.

A gear lead or top rope from anchors accessed from hike/scramble from backside. Anchors located ~15' right of Ow Now. Trending right ~2/3 of the way up is easier (~5.7).

A good gear-protected lead in the crack just right of Bovine Inspiration in the middle of Cattle Call Wall.  Crux is getting around bulges.

Fun sport route up one of the longer routes on Cattle Call Wall. Typical of most climbs at Las Conchas the crux is at the bottom as most walls are undercut and finding good feet is difficult. Getting past initial bulge is crux.

Start as for Udder Limits but traverse right to a left leaning lieback crack. Continue up on strenuous moves to the anchors of Udder Limits.

Well bolted 5.7 (or maybe 5.8) for the first time leader.  Fun moves through the obvious well protected crux and then big holds to the top.

A short, easy sport route to chains. Makes for a good beginner sport lead although the spacing between the last two bolts is spicey (but the climbing is easy.)     Many options for the start exist but starting right of bolt line and then moving up and left is easiest.

Scramble up into the shallow scoop to gain a comfortable stance to clip the high first bolt. Make a couple more moves using holds on the right to a semi-reachy clip to the second bolt. The reachy clip is nice because it puts you on mini toprope as you move into the crux of the route--getting up to and clipping the third bolt.    To get to the third clip, make some steep, awkward layback or gaston-type moves to reach the nice handrail-like hold right of the bolt. When moving past the third bolt try not to step on the second bolt that is placed in what appears to be the best foot hold area on the faint arete. If you're very careful you might be able to place your toes around the bolt while you move up.    A couple more tedious moves get you up to a huge horn and the fourth bolt. The fifth clip is just a short distance up on easier ground and more easier ground to the chains.  

  FA information would be appreciated.

Stand with left sidepull and right crimp, step up onto ledge, go straight up to gain the sloper rail in the center of the overhang and work out how to hit the horn on the  lip of the overhang. The problem is over at the lip - either drop off or traverse left and exit as for Unnamed 2. 

  The jugs in the hollow to the left are not used for this problem. 

  A sit version can be done that starts below and right on the deep undercling crack, and makes a few sharp traversey moves, but feels artificial due to the large step/ledge.

An old, not often (never?) climbed route facing the highway on Roadside Attraction. I've never climbed it but the one bolt this route once had is missing its hanger and the rock is reported to be loose above the roof.

Fun, juggy and straight-forward climbing that's well protected. It would make for a great second beginner lead after Pie In Your Eye.     Climb up and clip the first two bolts without much difficulty.  The crux comes moving through the bulge around the third bolt. Enjoy more juggy, climbable terrain above that for three more bolts to the anchor.  

  Easier and more straight forward than A La Verga.

With routes from 5.6 to 5.11-, this area is great for the beginner to moderate climber. The setting and the approach are hard to beat. Beautiful grassy meadows against the rock make this a great area to climb and hang out just 100 feet from your car door.    The wall get morning shade/afternoon sun and ridiculous crowds on summer weekends. Plan accordingly.  

  Please note that this area is on private property and we are fortunate that the landowner has allowed the public to climb on it. Please be respectful of this area.
