Narrative:
While VMC day on approach to runway 26 in abq we received a 'terrain' advisory GPWS message. First officer was pilot flying and did a spectacular job of flying a visual approach to a runway with rising terrain and large crosswinds aloft. We had the rising terrain in site as we were VMC at all times.it was quite a demanding approach as we were number three for the field behind a large aircraft. In addition to large crosswinds to deal with aloft on the downwind and base legs. The first officer did a great job of building visual decent points using the FMS and we were safely configured and stable by 1;000 feet.
