Description
'Thunder' is like 'lightning' in that it is a popular climb to the first set of anchors. The similarites stop there. Climbing to the first set of anchors is 12c. Start by negotiating your way up a blank looking slab that is not as blank as it appears. After a good rest fly through numerous crux-like sequences on super positive crimps. It is similar to climbing on postive jibs in a rock gym.
Weasel your way up on a tufa after clipping the first anchor. Rest up here for some truely cryptic movement. The first sequence involves setting up in an awkward undercling position before unfurling a coordinated dynamic move to a slopey left hand pocket. Quickly catch your breath and then set up for a three points off dyno to a great jug. From here carefully meander your way through pumpy slopey pods and tufas to the anchor. This route is much more bouldery than 'Lightning.' I have not redpointed the upper portion and am fine with the description being updated if someone else has better info.
