Route Climbed: South Crack" III 5.9 Date Climbed: oct. 2000
Bob Austin and I climbed this excellant route in late September of 2000. Bob had been climbing alot of sierra routes that year such as the "Sun Ribbon Arete" and a route on Picture Peak Which were both rated 5.9 but after climbing Thor he got a better view of what 5.9 in the sierras can be like. We were lucky to get off the route by night fall. my first and last time climbing with Bob. Hey where are you Bob, lets go climbing. Thor is a great sierra peak, easy approach and awesome climbing, the real deal. I suppose if I hadn't gone off route we might have made the summit, stay in the big cracks.
