Tropic Thunder (27).

NEW ROUTE AT MOUNT COOLUM!!!
DROP YOUR GUNS, AND PICK UP A BELAY DEVICE!!
Okay, well it is a new pitch above Friends In High Places (20), and its an awesome bouldery undertaking.
It took me more days to bolt then it did for me to climb it. The moves getting to the anchor are committing, make sure you take the victory jump. Train your sidepulls before getting on this.
Here are some pictures that the good folk at jjobrienclimbing.blogspot.com took.

The starting sequence, gastons and underclings and MASSIVE JUG.

























Yeah, thats the massive jug......

























About to near crux 1.

























Great move.

























Crux 1, make sure you get the kneebar.

























Another massive jug, great feature.

























The "butt" hold.

























Start of the crux.

























Crux move. From the sidepull out left there is a massive throw with your right hand to catch a slopy pinch.

Safe climbing.
