Description
Mjolnir is the name of the mythical hammer of Thor, who is the Norse God of Thunder. Over the millenia Mjolnir has come to represent more a state of mind than an actual hammer [wielded] by the Thunder God of the Vikings (who are my ancestors). The route begins from the curb a short way left from the direct start to Excalibur. Climb steep rock to an overhanging V-shaped dihedral (crux). Lieback out of the dihedral, then climb straight up past the last two bolts to the ring anchor. The final terrain is not really a letdown. Lower off.
Caution: Avoid any temptation you may have to stem from a huge perched block on a ledge above and right of the sixth bolt. If this monster teeters off and flattens an RTD bus (communist bastards), it is better that the bureaucrats can't blame it on climbers.
Protection
7 bolts to a 2-bolt anchor with rings. Gear up to 1 inch could be used to fill in between the last two bolts, but was not used on the FA.
