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
Crux is low between the 1st and 2nd bolt. Interesting, though large mellow jugs with long moves between. Great for the grade as you rarely find routes that are of this quality yet so steep! Too bad it is so short. Synonymous but shorter than other routes on the Tower.
Location
Just left of American Psycho on the lower point of the boulder. The easiest bolted route. To find it seek the route with the largest jugs near the arete that seperates the west and the south face. Just a slight left when you get to the top of the trail and you will see it right in front of your face!
