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. Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

This is an unfinished route approximately 20 feet to the left of Blind Man's Bluff. The bottom section is somewhat loose if you start to the right of the black streak; the rock quality is better to the left. Follow the black streak to a small roof, pull the roof and finish at a two-bolt anchor. Fun moves through the roof.

Location 

Left (north) side of Frog Prince, 15 feet up the gully from Blind Man's Bluff.

Protection 

No bolts (yet?). Two bolt anchor looks new, but does not have provisions for lowering or rappelling. You can set this for TR by an easy 4th class scurry 30 feet to the left of the base of the route.
