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.

Description New route not yet in the guidebooks! Let us know if you know anything about this one please. Bouldery start for this one. The moves are easy once you find them. Follow the line of bolts up the arete. Crux is down low and easy climbing above. Stay to the left for more of a challenge.
Location Between Fee Fi Fo Fum and Rapunzel's Revenge. Climb the Arete, lower from the chains.
Protection 4 Bolts, and Chains.

| Rumor has it that Walt Wilkinson put this route up last year. Not sure what he (if it was he) named or graded it however. Will have to ask him when I see him again. |
