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 Go up the slabby ramp of deteriorating rock that is left of the large arete. Continue up to the halfway anchors (book calls the route 5.11c to the first set of anchors, it seems more difficult than that.) Get your no hands rest at the giant hueco just at the anchors, and continue up and right. Crux is passing through the area of darker brown rock.
Protection 16 bolts to anchors.

| Did this again on Sunday. What a great route. Getting to the midway anchors is definitely harder than 11c. Must have been in pretty good shape when we gave it an 11c rating in the guidebook. I would say 11+ or 12- to the midway anchors. |

| Yeah I agree with Eric to the hueco it's definitely not 11c, like he said 12-. Amazing route. I was blessed to have Eric belay me on the redpoint. Thanks again for the catch Eric. |

| I think doing the direct start is partly to blame on whats making it feel a touch harder than in the past. I never did the direct into Zee Wicked until this past weekend. Starting on Ripped like we used to do is a bit easier and you could easily shake before busting left around the arete and into that 1st crux. For sure we were in great Tower shape back then. Miss those awesome days :) |
