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.

Description Start on a chossy slab, best to traverse in from the right to clip the first bolt to miss some of the worst rock. Continue up past the second and third bolt. Whenever the holds die out utilize the arete passing the fourth bolt. Catch a nice (slightly awkward rest) clip the 5th bolt out left (bolt was placed here to provide a cleaner fall) and head right to a hueco and traverse left to the next bolt. Slightly harder if done direct.
Continue up easy ground for a few more bolts to the final overhang and anchors. Leaver biners would be nice here as there isn't much of a stance for cleaning.
New route and still has some loose rock. Should get better as the rock cleans up.
Location Leftmost route at Captain Hook's Grotto. Easy to spot as the first 2 bolts are glue-ins.
Protection 8? Bolts to large chain anchors.

| Needs some traffic but I liked it. Not just pulling and not too pumpy as you work up the feature. |
