Welcome to EnchantedTower.com (v.3)
This is just a mess of things under construction. I would ignore it if I were you.

Rock Climbing in New Mexico - The Enchanted Tower

Under Construction

Last Update 1/21/04
The Flash Site is functional. Content thus far is limited, but it is being added as you read this.
Be patient. The Flash site takes a minute to load, but is then MUCH faster than a typical html site.

11/14/06 Waterfall area preview (604KB - screen quality only)

11/9/06 Spook Canyon Preview (no bouldering) - 4.8MB PDF

Socorro printed guide preview (download PDF - 4 MB) - Waterfall Wall and area bouldering, no maps

Socorro printed preview (download PDF - 1.4 MB) - the whole guide up to this point, but really incomplete and only screen quality

 

Features In Development:

• Comprehensive Online Guide
• Downloadable PDFs
• Printed Guide Available for Purchase

Description:

This site is a FREE non-profit online climbing guide to sites all across New Mexico.
Although currently under construction, this site will eventually host comprehensive guides for every significant climbing area in New Mexico.
These pages currently serve as a testbed and beta site for the Flash program which is currently being written.
Check back for updates, but expect the online guide for Enchanted Tower to be complete by August 1, 2003 with Socorro following shortly thereafter.

Look for free downloadable PDFs in the near future which will be added as time permits.

A bound printed guide for Enchanted Tower and Socorro will be available for mail-order purchase at this site. Expect the printed guide to become available about September 1st. Payment will be accepted via PayPal (credit card) or by money order.
The free PDF downloads will still be available, but a high quality printed guide is being developed for those who prefer a perfect binding with high quality images on glossy paper.

100% of writers royalties and all other proceeds from this site will benefit these climbing areas via donations to non-profit conservation organizations and private bolt/anchor/trail maintenance projects.
