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 

The route just right of the cave in the middle of the wall. Two starts, you can either do the direct start above the killer desert spiky yucca, or climb the the easier slabby rock to the left. Clip the first bolt (hint, look for the stellar under-cling), then continue up two different overhanging jug hauls. Jugs all there but may be difficult to find through the overhangs. Nice 5.10 route!
