Access Issue: Thompson Canyon
Details
The gate to Thompson Canyon's southern end is locked and is no longer a viable option for short and convenient access. The standard access is now via the longer, rougher Davenport Lookout/Thompson Canyon route.
New Mexico CRAG (NMCRAG) will continue to be in contact with the ranch owners and the Forest Service to see if it can resolve this issue. In the meantime, please respect the closure, spread the word and please do not attempt to drive through the private ranch.

Description
Rapunzel Wall is sort of located to the right of, and in the shadow of, the Enchanted Tower. Tucked back in there, the wall features a few nice moderate routes on vertical to just less than vertical rock. As expected, this a popular place and you may encounter groups of climbers here.
Getting There
Approach up past the Enchanted Tower from the parking lot below (or trails across from the left), hiking up the left-to-right trail that leads up from the Tower. Five minute approach.
Routes:
Left to right as you encounter them from the trail. Trail enters at the left side of the crag. At the far left side is a small cave.
