FA: John Duran, Denise Young
New Mexico
> Enchanted Tower
> Rapunzel Wall
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
A short and steep line starting just to the right of a small cave. Stemming moves help ease the climb.
Protection
3 bolts to a two-bolt anchor.
