Description

A proud line out the largest part of the magnificent roof, Bombshell takes a decisive path between Righta Rumpus and the orange arete of Two Nuts For You. Start as for Two Nuts, bouldering steeply past the first two bolts, until you can gain a ledge out left. Head moderately up and right, until the two bolt lines diverge. Break left through a slab boulder sequence on the white rock to a rest. From here, climb out the large roof system. The technical crux comes midway through, gaining a good hold to shake out, before busting heroic moves out the final roof. Fight the pump to a 2 bolt anchor and take in the view. 

Location

This line splits left from the mid way stance of Two Nuts For You.

Protection

16 bolts with one trolly draw. Back cleaning or extending draws before the roof is highly recommended.
