That delicate move on the first pitch felt icky… but nothing compared to the choss of the last pitch.

One of the best climbs in the valley for sure. Solid protection on the crux makes it super secure. A lovely big ledge for a picnic in the middle

First pitch was tougher than it looked, some good moves and fun problems. Second pitch definitely had the crux and we each solved it differently. Third pitch was boulder field at altitude. I've logged the 4th pitch (Plum Duff) separately.

Awesome route in an amazing setting. Lead P2. Crux is pretty tough for 16 but the gear is bomber and the jugs are all there.

Heaps of loose rock had tone pulled off the wall. A lot of time was spent “landscaping” cracks, handholds and gear placements had to be dug out. Sooooo worth it tho🤘👍🤩

Another quality outing on Bomb Arete, this time comfortable with trad, quite some progression since my first outing on this classic. I lead the first two pitches and Charlie lead the 3rd up Plum Duff.

What a great multi pitch line. We set up an extra anchor right under the chimney to safe ropedrag.

Just a few degrees above zero, vicious wind chill, misty and threatening to rain. Four top layers, two bottom layers, brrr. So of course we went up. Fortunately the wind dropped a bit after the first pitch. Crux on pitch 2 is fairly committed for the grade, old school 16. Maybe try the extra alternate chimney pitch finish if you have time, but allow for a fair bit of walk-off route-finding time. Walk off is steep and my knee has not liked it. A fun adventure in a great setting.

I've never climbed in so much clothing or been so cold on a climb before. Vicious wind chill factor. P1 gave me more trouble than I was expecting esp at the delicate move left until my belayer pointed out a foot hold I had missed which I had to very carefully reverse my last move to. Hands were numb with cold. P2 is a better climb. P3 is 60m so if protecting you need to watch rope drag. Walk off is long and steep but OK. Great views at the top. Altogether a bit of an adventure.
