BETA PHOTO: Thunder Road and Corn on the Cob. Thunder Road is...


Description 

The west face of Cob Rock is a steep gold and brown wall. Thunder Road fires up the center of this beautiful wall. Climb up to a large crack/corner on the left side of the west face. Easy fifth class. Belay here with gear. Travese right and clip the first bolt. Crank up and clip the second bolt, make a series of weird lay-a-ways and then crank on good holds to a difficult mantle. Steep climbing veers right and then straight up on good holds to the anchor. Excellent route on very good rock.


Protection 

Six clips plus a red and green Camalot will get you to the anchor.

This is an excellent addition to an already stacked crag. There is not a bad move on it from start to finish. It might be useful to long draw the 6th (out of 7) bolt below the final bulge. A 60m rope will just make it back to the ground for both leader and belayer. We found the belay nook to be a surprisingly peaceful location that will take almost anything (including jammed knots) for an anchor.
