The Second Coming

The Second Coming is a beautiful climb located in the Chimney Canyon of the Sandia Mountains, New Mexico. It is a four pitch climb with several variations, especially on the last pitch.
The overall climb is rated as 5.8+, with the first pitch being super easy 5.7, and the following two pitches in 5.8 range, perhaps a few 5.9 moves. The last pitch has several finishes. The obvious finish at the end of the wall is an easy 5.8, to the left is a small crack 5.9, and further left even smaller crack 5.10a. I think that 5.10a finish is the best, but I was just a tourist not leading the climb (only following and having fun). I guess I am not really a climber, just a person who likes to be outdoors.
