Up its famous 4000' overhung face that is?  Seems like it'd be an amazing place to try to put up a line, although it is pretty remote.

There is a Thor Peak by My. Whitney. Where is the Thor Peak you are asking about?

This mountain https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Thor. According to the wiki page yes. Edit: only aid routes so far.

Negative. 2010 route went up northwest face. Synnott also notes that the west face proper is more like 3200'. Pretty weak :) 

And the remote part hasn't stopped folks from free climbing in that valley. And Thor itself has 4 or 5 aid routes on the face

Wow, that's an incredible piece of rock. And here I was thinking El Capitan was the biggest face like that in the world.

Yeah, it'd be cool to see Tommy or someone get out there and try to put up a route up the dead center of it.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
