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 

This is a fun route on great rock. If its length were reasonable, the route would be 4 stars. The hardest moves are stepping off the ledge at the base, so have a stick clip or a spotter. This route heads up and slightly right, on steadily improving holds. With no real rests until the anchor, this is a typical ET mad-dash for the chains.

Location 

This is the second route from the left on the 'super steep' section of the Frog Prince wall. Its also the 3rd route from the left of the overhanging dihedral.

Protection 

Bolts, stick clip.
