Hammer of Thor

FA Larry Harris, Tony Karzen, et al, c.1987

Description

Hammer of Thor heads up from the second bolt (not including the pin at the start) of

Velvet Elvis

. The climbing is nothing to write home about;

Velvet Elvis

and the nearby

Hunka Hunka Burnin' Love

are both better routes. My partner and I both felt that this climb was more difficult than the crux of

Velvet Elvis

(which is 11a), but it may have been that we were tired and hot.

Rap off the last bolt or scramble easily up to the anchor above

Velvet Elvis

(from which, incidentally, you can rap to the ground with a 70m rope - a 60m is likely to get you down in one rap as well).

Protection

8 or so bolts.
