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.

Description Start to the left of Rubber Mission. This route is on the right side of the north face of the tower. Difficult crux is down low, from there it's a matter of fighting the pump to make it over the lip, where it lightens from there.
Protection 11 bolts to anchors.

| A truly great climb, classic at the grade (12b seems spot on). Relentlessly steep and pumpy through the 8th bolt or so, with a couple of tricky cruxes thrown in. Top eases off to around 10+, but it's exciting all the way to the anchors. Big clean whippers. |

| This is by far one of the coolest routes i have ever climbed! Yeh I agree with Dave spot on for 12b, and it isn't over till you scream or clip the anchors. Highly recommended if you want a good 12a+ to work on. The biggest holds you will ever fall off of! |

| The best of the 12- climbs on the Tower. Fantastic. |

| Killer route. One of the better sport climbs I've ever climbed. I don't think there's even a .12b move on it, just a ton of .11+ moves one after another. Awesome. |
