Thompson Canyon MORE INFO >>>
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 don't attempt to drive through the private ranch.
This information is a public crowdsourcing effort between the Access Fund,
and Mountain Project. You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates.

Protection Bolts & Chains

| It would be nice if some motivated local did something about the anchor situation on this wall. I'm probably exaggerating a little but i seem to remember something like 8 routes sharing 3 anchors. The anchors were protruding bolts with chains being held down by low grade steel washers on which you tugged quite hard as you tried desperately to get 15' over to the line you were cleaning. Pretty sub-standard for such a popular crag, in my opinion. |
