Traversing 5 14ers in a day (Sill to Thunderbolt, 5.9, Grade IV)

This past Tuesday, I linked up with Sam Stuckey, Chris Farrah, and Imanol Amundarain to climb the Sill to Thunderbolt Traverse (commonly done as the Thunderbolt to Sill Traverse). We started at Big Pine Creek Trailhead at first light and ended in the town of Bishop after a 20 mile downhill bike ride from the South Lake Trailhead. Ima hasn’t climbed or hiked anything in the past 2 months and had driven to the trailhead from sea level the night before. Be sure to check out his entry in the summit register on Thunderbolt Peak from 8/24/21 for his thoughts on the Spanish monarchy.
