The Hideout rock climbing area is located low is the Sandias and has generally South-facing quartzite, making it a good place to go in the winter months when climbing in the higher Sandias may be out of the question.

“Prefiero morir de pie que vivir de rodillas,” / “I’d rather die on my feet than live on my knees.” Emiliano Zapata (8 August 1879 – 10 April 1919) was a leading figure in the Mexican Revolution against the dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz that broke out in 1910. Zapata was one of Pancho Villa’s right-hand men and used this phrase for motivation, although the phrase was not originally coined by him. Pancho Villa and his reign in northern Mexico spread all the way into the present day New Mexico. It was places like this that granted sanctuary for soldiers, miners, and now climbers.

The Hideout is reminiscent of the days when the Mexican influence of these lands was a direct reality, and there was no gas station or international airport nearby. The Hideout is a great place to savor the lost appreciation of what the lower Sandias used to look like even thirty years ago.

The Hideout is a revitalized rock climbing crag hosting bullet quartzite in the Sandia Mountains of New Mexico. The routes put up are courtesy of Justin Spain, Jason Williams, and Marc Beverly.
