These waypoints were taken during a climb May 23, 2003. Driving directions:
From Interstate 25 in Las Cruces exit on University Ave. and go east.  The
road turns into Dripping Springs Road and goes past the small mountain with
the letter "A' on its side.  At 4.9 miles go straight at a junction with
Soledad Canyon Road (ORG1).  At 6.1 miles cross a cattle guard (ORG2).
At 7.9 miles turn left onto Baylor Road which is good, graded dirt. At 9.3 miles
turn right onto a narrow dirt road heading east.  At 9.6 miles go right at a
junction and at 9.9 miles the road gets worse and four-wheel drive may be
needed.  A small, cleared campsite is at 10.2 miles (ORG3). We hiked from here,
some drivers may push on, but the road gets very rocky and slow.

Start from the camp area and in about 1/3 of a mile there is an unlocked green
gate at waypoint ORG4.  Follow the old road and at ORG5 go right on a narrow, 
steep ATV shortcut. Past the Modoc Mine area the road drops 50 feet then goes 
up a steep section and ends at a high saddle with cairn (ORG7).  Two trails start 
from here.  Take the trail straight ahead that descends toward Fillmore Canyon.  
Waypoint ORG8 is just past a few large oaks in a side canyon.  Follow the trail 
up a ridge and below the west rock face of P7778, a small peak.  The trail 
reaches a saddle north of P7778, waypoint ORG9.

Stay on the trail heading north then east through some brush and over a slab 
below a dry waterfall (ORG10).  Then climb up steeply on the use trail.  Just 
past ORG11 on the slopes the trail crosses a ridge leading into a canyon heading 
east.  This ridge crossing may not be easy to see, but it is near waypoint ORG12.  
The trail hugs the canyon wall in thick trees and brush and after much climbing 
you will top out at Dark Saddle (ORG13) at about 8940 feet.  Descend the east 
side about 80 feet and stay on the left side crossing an awkward rock fin (ORG13) 
into a small, steep canyon coming down from the summit area to the west.  Just 
above the rock fin is a 15 foot ledge sloping up to the right that you climb to reach 
easier slopes that lead to the top.  The summit is waypoint ORG15, which has an 
ammo box register below it.  This climb of about 3800 feet takes about five to six 
hours for the ascent.  Allow about 3 1/2 hours to return.
