Thompson Canyon's southern access via the private ranch is now closed. 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. See below for details. New Mexico CRAG (NMCRAG) will continue to be in contact with the ranch owners and the Forest Service to see if we can resolve this issue. In the meantime, please respect the closure and spread the word.
This information is a public crowdsourcing effort between the Access Fund,
and Mountain Project. You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates.

| - 4 bolts and anchors with single biners to twist your ropes
- Try not to fall early as you could land in the large yucca at teh base of the climb
- Bring your Dust-buster to clean the sand out of the pockets and you Dremel tool so you don't loose your fingers in the two finger pockets.
