Details
"Drop the Hammer on Memorial Wall is currently under closure for peregrine nesting season.
Eagles, falcons, hawks, and migratory birds build nests in shallow depressions on ledges, cliffs and rock walls, often returning to the same site year after year. The Forest Service and Northern AZ Climbers Coalition request that climbers avoid certain routes during critical nesting periods (typically April through early August).
The USFS will be frequently monitoring the Peregrine Falcons so that they can open areas as soon as possible. Successful partnership with the Forest Service biologists has allowed for closure of select routes, instead of the entire walls or crags, and we ask that climbers adhere to these closures. If you have questions, concerns, or would like to report a bird sighting, please reach out to the Northern Arizona Climbers Coalition at nazcc@nazcc.org or the US Forest Service @ 928-526-0866 and ask to speak with a biologist."

Description
This is a variation and extension to the start of Sweet Thunder. It gives sweet thunder a start separate from Bucking the Sun. The extension also adds a harder crux on quality rock.
Start on a large ledge ~15ft down and climbers right of the original start. Climb the steep prow past 4 bolts, cross the Bucking the Sun line and finish up the original Sweet Thunder arete.
