Favourite bottomless (bomb-bay) pitches / routes.

euce's traversing pitch thread has inspired me to start a compilation thread for bottomless chimney (bomb bay style) pitches...

NSW Warrumbungles; has a couple with great exposure that come readily to my mind, being;
Belougery Spire; Napawi, G16, P6 (at about 2/3 height) is a real (main?) reason to do this route.
Crater Bluff; Lieben, G17, P4 has an interesting (but easy) bit of bomb-bay.

Many others exist, so list your favourites here to inspire, or frighten? ;-) others.

Surely Scorpion and Death Row have to figure in there somewhere. Both at that crag that everybody knows about.

P3 of Bellbird Wall. Great position above all but about 10m of the Grose valley.

Scorpion for sure. Those first moves getting established are truly bottomless and you feel every metre of exposure below you.

mmm, Scorpion. I wanted to chicken out of even seconding it.

Odin at Frog is good. Getting in and out of the bomb-bay is the crux. Yee hah!

The Fall of Man at Mitre rock (14). A couple of jams out to a bottomless chimney. The scene of one of the funniest chimney ascents I have ever witnessed.

Top pitch of eskimo nell is a little like that - great atmosphere.

Were you watching me? In hindsight I can laugh about it. Took the super exciting option of leading it as one pitch so my second had NFI what I was wailing about...

Does the weird chimney traverse on the last pitch count as one?

The sentry box on The last grain race G19 at Barbican Rocks in the Gramps is a corker.
