Working the 2nd pitch

The final rap station before the ground. Just to the right of where P1 goes.

We replaced the slings at the rap station on P1 with some new 1". :)

Crossing the creek early in the morning after rainfall in the previous days

Teejay grinnin like a possum eating a sweet tater.

Start of Pitch 2

the rap

Amazing southern sunset from the top of the route. would recommend climbing the route in the afternoon so you can watch the sunset from the top. it's nothing compared to the overlook at sunset, this may be one of the best places to watch the sunset in chattanooga. maybe the brow on signal would be just as good

the rap was fun!! a cold early-january day.

3rd pitch

View from belay on pitch 3

A fun hanging rappel from the top

Double rope rappel (we used a 60 and a 70) gets you from the top of P3 to the top of P1 with plenty to spare.

Mason entering the third pitch of the route "Bombs Away" just before pulling the roof

Base of climb (start on crack on left side)

Top of p2 anchor. Head left from here to top out after traversing ledge climbers left 20 ft

On P2,after following the off-width up and right, traverse right along the 3 horizonal finger cracks.
