Access Issue: Thompson Canyon Details

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 please do not attempt to drive through the private ranch.

Description

Very sunny mostly south facing cliff. Pretty secluded due to the lack of routes. Rock quality is somewhat questionable in most areas.

This wall is home to only 3 routes, from left to right

Project
Child of Light - Currently the hardest route at Datil.
Unknown (5.13a)

Child of Light was originally graded 5.14a by Timmy and has since been down graded to 5.13+ but I've heard it is still quite hard and it sees very few ascents. The project is rumored to be harder but I've heard that it has a bad habit of losing holds, so potential suitors tend to lose interest.

Getting There

Drive or walk up the canyon from the tower a little ways until you see the obvious steep wall on the left side of the road with a couple of nice looking black streaks.
