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
It's hard with the climbing at Datil not to repeat yourself over and over again. Hmmm, lets think of some new words. Steep and juggy come to mind. Hey, didn't I say that last time? Seriously, another nice route at Datil.
Location
Right side of Frog Prince within the cove (this large chasm is also called the Birth Canal.) This is the right route of the two routes the right side.
Protection
8 bolts to chain anchors.
