BETA PHOTO: Bombs Away

Description 

Thought-provoking climb involving crack, face, and slab moves, all in just 40 feet! Start up a broken crack system, being careful for rotten rock. Surmount the hand crack, and rest on a ledge. Place gear in the crack before it peters out, and climb some face moves to the top of the block. Exciting.

Location 

On the East side of the Ted's Trot Block. To the right of Bombay and Deep Throat, left and around the corner from Ted's Trot. Start up the discontinuous cracks, over a jumbled boulder start.

Protection 

Standard rack to #2 Camalot. Make sure to leave a #0.5-1 Camalot sized piece for the crack before the face section. Watch out for rotten rock at the start. Build an anchor with hand-sized pieces. Bolts on top of the block.
