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. Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

Great overhanging pocket pulling! Start up a rock ramp, trending left to avoid the choss. Clip your first bolt just at the top of the ramp and the second one comes just there after. Technical crux was probably the first move after clipping the second bolt, it's just a matter of fighting through a pump factor after that. Just keep climbing, it gets easier near the anchor.

Location 

Left of Glass Coffin and Sleeping Beauty.

Protection 

4-5 bolts to sport anchor.
