| benjamingray | Traverse thru N. Pal  Date Climbed: Aug 31, 2009 | |
| Part of a Thunderbolt - Polemonium traverse, although we ran out of time for Pole... Thunderbolt was much easier than expected, not sure why its rated as one of the harder 14ers, I suppose just 'cause of the summit block. Climbed the summitblock on toprope, thought it was a straightforward boulder problem... | |

| The last of 3 with Peter Doucette. Ran out of time and bailed without tagging Polemonium. Turned out to be a wise decision as I was running on empty and it took 15 hours before we got back to the trailhead. | |

| Technically: Easier than I thought it was going to be; one 5.8 move and some tricky scrambling up to the summit block. Physically: Not so bad, surely not the easiest 14’er, but in the lower/mid range. Route finding: Straight forward except for the last 100’. Once you reach the notch don’t just go straight up, take your time, you’ll find easier routes below the chockstone. Danger: The last 100’ is a thrill and there’s lots of loose rock that can be kicked down on you by climbers above. If Thunderbolt was 4 feet shorter not many people would bother climb this peak. But the fun climbing in the last 100’ and the technical summit block make it worth the trip. | |

| Day hiked the Thuderbolt to Sill Traverse in just over 20 hours. Started at South Lake and ended at the shuttle car at Glacier Lodge. Climbed with SPer's Forjan,Kevin Trieu,Dave S,Luis Gijon and Corey Harelson. Took SW Chute #1 to get to the summit block and topped out via a TR that was lead/set by Corey. This was an unforgettable experience.Great climbing trip. | |

| Start of the traverse. Skipped the summit block, because peeling and hitting that pointy rock looked painful, so I'll have to come back and do it again. | |

| My SP partners Tom Becht and Glenn Gooking and I hiked in from South Lake over Bishop Pass and exited down Mt. Sill's L-Couloir and out to Glacier Lodge at the end of a very, very long day. It was quite a thrill to climb Thunderbolt's summit block. Thanks to Glenn for leading it. | |

| Long day doing the Palisades Traverse with Glenn and Augie. Thanks to them for pushing me to climb the block via the 5.9 side, easily the hardest thing I've done to date. | |

| Hit TP as part of the Palisades traverse last summer. Great exposure and difficult route-finding, but Bruce kept us on course. | |
