Capitan Gap

The best climbing in the Ruidoso area. About 1 hour north of town, find an unexpected crag on a large granite spire with a remote atmosphere. Currently there are 7 sets of anchors, including several sport lines and a few trad lines.

While there certainly is potential for more routes, don't expect to get in a lot of volume at this time, but come check out the area for some unique climbing in a remote setting. Local climbers hope to establish more routes in the coming years.

Please stay on trails where they exist and practice leave no trace.
