Upper Tier

At the left end of the slabs climb up the groove leading to a short chimney. Climb up the right wall of the chimney to easier ground above.

This route climbs the obvious overhanging crack in the main headwall. From the belay traverse right across the bottom of the slabs until a finger crack is reached. Climb this to the base of the overhanging crack in the corner. The crack is climbed until it runs out and small ledges are used to pull over the top to easier ground.

Start as for Ginger Crunch until below the final overhanging crack. From here traverse right following ledges until a difficult mantle has to be made onto a ledge. Climb more easily up and right over slabby rock to the top.

An exposed finish to any of the routes on the Bomb Bay, though it is prone to seepage and should be left until a dry spell. From the second pitch of Bomb Arête climb up and right over easy ground, past some slabs, until a damp little recess is gained. The climb proper starts from this recess. From the recess gain another ledge (awkward) and from here step around a nose to a groove on the right. Climb this to where a large rock was dislodged on the first ascent (this is the ‘bomb’ that the cliff is named after). Finish up the left wall on good holds.

From the damp recess on The Bomb, climb directly through the right-hand of two overhanging grooves above the belay. When the angle eases off work left to finish up The Bomb.
