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
Start up from a small platform in the bushes through some slightly chossy rock and over a couple of bulges. The bulge at the third bolt is a bit awkward. Above that bulge, rest up before heading into the steep terrain. Things get steeper and bit more interesting but the jugs are big up to the fifth bolt.
The crux comes after as you figure out how to surmount the bulge with a mantle-esque move. Once up past the bulge, small pockets on the face lead past a the sharp "tooth" jug and the last bolt. Finish up on decent but not stellar pockets to the top.
The climbing is fun and the crux move is balancy yet pretty powerful at the same time.
