Just about everything 9 and below on Discovery and Upper Crust plus a few others.

Portent or Entrance are nice starts.

To be honest, I don't freesolo, and I think you have to be a different breed if you do, especially at PNM. That is an impressive list Mr Mud.



I actually did 3 in the early 70's when I was too young(10 or 11) to know any better. :)  My dad would have killed me if he had known. Nipple Jam(the ledge), First Sister(right), and Flip-a-Coin chimney.

When I did Flip a Coin it seemed a bit spooky.

There's a route called Rock Naked- 5.8 R/X that Mr Mud did awhile back.



Loose, crude falling down as you go up, and he did it onsight, free solo.



Death wish imho.





I did Pillbox crack free solo the first time I climbed it, and at one point free solo'd The Cleft, Portent, the 5.6 on Upper Crust, and the First Sister too.  Good times, but I don't make a habit of free soloing at the NM.



It's all spooky at Pinns if you're free soloing.

I would have to agree with that!
