FOR CLIMBERS: Just 5 minutes from our location, the Big Block climbing area is one of the few outdoor sports climbing areas close to Albuquerque. With a short, easy approach it is a popular destination. The area is rather small with a handful of bouldering problems and some good sports climbing on excellent limestone. The area gets its name from the enormous block of limestone in the middle of the climbing area. This block is large enough to have 3 short routes and some bouldering. There are 47 different routes that range from 5.7 TO 5.12 in difficultly
