I thought it looked familiar. That is one proud looking line. Looks beta intensive.

Sorry you guys had a tough experience, but I have to speak out. There are so many places with quality Winter bouldering all over North America that do not have all the BS involved at Hueco. I love Hueco, but I value my time and climbing experience far too much to follow their rules, pay guides, book my climbing day, etc.
Maybe I am some kind of wild eyed purist, but I like to set my own schedule and find out the rules of engagement (park service or private landowner, and also local ethics, and just maybe a bit of common sense), and just go out and have a kick-ass time. Traveling a great distance just to be shepherded around to different climbing areas is the exact opposite of what drew me into climbing.
I understand Hueco Tanks has had to do something to mitigate the impact of the park users and the ecological impact that was taking place. In my opinion, they went WAY overboard, and were doing so back in the Eighties, long before climbing in general, and bouldering to be more specific, took off during the adventure sports craze of the Nineties.
I say, boycot the place. With the amazing variety of bouldering from the unique formations at City of Rocks, NM to the almost gritstone like sandstone of So Cal, I see no reason the play the Hueco game for winter bouldering. I deserve better and so do most of you. Hope your next trip goes better.
Later,
Marc B.

I like boardshorts. They're stylish. Anyways, you can wear whatever you want if you climb hard enough.

city of rocks NM is kinda like Queens Creek but looser, but the rangers r real climber friendly, unlike the mess at heuco and robs, its really worth a couple of days though. Dont forget your decent bomb too youll need it.
Also dont forget about Pena Blanca between Las Cruces NM and Hell Paso TX, prime bouldering on four different types of rock great stuff.
Climb on.
