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 

While this is yet another linkup on "Frog Prince" wall, it adds an extra good move or two in the transition over to "Thru the Looking Glass". Start up "White Queen" and at the second bolt make a big move up and left to merge into "Thru the Looking Glass" and finish up thru the crux of this route. Probably slightly easier than "Thru the Looking Glass" because while having a few extra moves the start is less fingery and takes less power.

Location 

Starts on the first two bolts (not including directional) of "White Queen", then moves left to finish with "Thru the Looking Glass".

Protection 

4 Bolts to shared anchors with "Thru the Looking Glass". This doesn't include the directional at the start or the bolt at the top of "Frog Prince" which can be clipped if wanted.
