Routes in Bannockburn

Starts right of TBOW and then crosses TBOW at the ledge to finish on the left. You can mix the start and finish of both routes for variants.

On the short but steep wall. Move right after 4th bolt. Technical moves from start to finish make this an enjoyable route.

Climbs the slab side of the arete, to the left of 'Thyme is Money'. At the 5th bolt ledge either step up to clip (feels exposed but is technically straight-forward) or else borrow a bolt from 'Thyme is Money' and extend it. Nice climbing. Presumably been top-roped for years. Bolted by Dave Ryan. June 2022

To the right of 'Thyme is Money'. Thin opening moves, then cruise straight up the centre of the slab.

The right hand side of the slab by the beach. Clip first bolt from obvious semi-detached flake. Beware that rock quality deteriorates towards top of climb.

Bolted rout to the climbers right of the gully.

Vague crack to right of Quick Thyme. Can clip some bolts on QT if required.

The obvious right leaning crack and semi detached pillar above the beach. Hand jam or lay back as you burry your big hexes and nuts in this beauty - it can be hard to see all the way into the depths when placing gear. Then slip through the willow leaves onto the tricky upper section with less than satisfying pro. There is a loose but keyed in block at about half height. The first ascent, in good 1975 fashion, was made using only hexes and nuts. A good test of ones head space and not a route to be taken lightly. Chain anchor.
