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.

| Hey Walt, glad to see the new routes going in and I love aretes. Unfortunately this route is really contrived. You have to make yourself stay on the steep side. The holds lead you around to the lower angle face to the right but the bolts go up the steep side. The last two moves are the exception to this. The best route of the new ones is a 5.10 at Captain Hooks Grotto and climbs left of the arete. That is a two star route. If you could send me a list of the new stuff you have done in the same format as the new E Tower guide, Route Name, Grade, Sport, the names of those that did the FA including belayers that would be great. I will make sure they get into the next guide. Thanks Eric C. Rhicard |

| Hey Eric, this is actually Mike. I don't believe I've ever climbed with you, but I've climbed with Guy before. I'll mention to Walt to send you the info. The name of the 5.10 is "Lunch with a Crocodile" 10d??. Mike |
