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
Not the greatest route at Datil and looks better from the ground then it climbs. As the guidebook states "silly climb" is a fitting description.
Start up lower angled rock past the first bolt. At the second bolt the clipping jug looks like it is ready to break off, beware. From here the climb traverses left, but following the bolts feels harder than 10+. Easier to head up a few feet then traverse left.
