Description
P1 -125ft. P2 -50ft***First free ascent is an open project. It's hard slab moves (see comment below)Thunder Island ascends the dike system to the right of Onslaught, then continues to the top of the cliff. It currently requires some aid climbing on bolts, but it will go free! (Open free project). Ascend the easy slab, starting at a small Left facing corner below a small sapling. Follow the slab along the faint dike, with a pocket to place protection. Continue past a right facing flake. If you are attempting a free ascent, you can build a thread anchor here to reduce the rope length for the leader. Continue up another slab, up the dike, on fun moves. Aid the blank section following the 3 bolts until the dike becomes more prominent again. Belay from the Fixe vertical bolt anchor. Pitch two is a short but sweet finish with one small headwall, followed by easy climbing to a big tree anchor. 70m is enough to get down P1. From the top of P2, you're better off just walking off to the left. You could use a 60m off top of p1 and down climb a low-angle section.Only equipment needed for the A1 section is a couple slings and/or an aider ladder
Location
Look for the 3 bolts to the right of Onslaught up on a headwall, next to a dark streak and dike system that goes from the lower slabs up to the headwall.
Protection
Tricams to #2. Cams up to 0.5. 3 bolts. Sling a thread
