Humpty Dumpty Wall

New Mexico > Enchanted Tower

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

This is the wall immediately to the north (left) of the north face of the tower. There are four routes at the left end of the wall.

It's a good spot to watch climbers on the north wall of the tower.

Getting There

Wall is visible from the road. The approach trail branches off from the trails around the Tower.
