Partners: Nate Arganbright & Scott Kimball
Climbed: Single-pitch FA on right side (5.9, 1p), Twenty-Two Ticks Pitch 1 (5.7 R, 1p)
Thunder Buttress is located between Sundance and The Pear. Nate and Scott had put up a new route a few weeks previous, spotted potential for a new line on the right side of the wall, and invited me to join for a first ascent. We ended up bailing off the first ascent after one pitch (the rock was a bit friable and the climbing underwhelming), and then climbed the first pitch of Twenty-Two Ticks, which was pretty fun. At least now I can say I've climbed on Thunder Buttress, but someday I'd like to to climb something to the top.
