An arial view of "Bombs Away"

Looking Up at the first pitch of "Bombs Away"

Start of Pitch 1

View from the top of the buttress

P1/2 Anchor/Belay

coming up P3

Stream after crossing the creek - you want to enter here and follow this uphill to the cliff base

Pitch 3<br>
Gently overhanging face climbing goodness peppered with horizontals for gear. Exposure is amazing on this pitch <br>

Start of P3...good quality rock right off of the belay turns somewhat loose above...

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.
