"Irish Car Bomb" climbs the overhanging wall right of "Oolong." Follow a line of shallow pockets and positive edges up the wall past a wide horizontal crack. The angle of the wall decreases to vertical above the crack and follows pockets, side-pulls, and horizontal edges to the top, past 8 bolts to a 2-ring Fixe anchor.

Oolong climbs the steep broad buttress at the entrance to the Tea Room. Pull onto the base of the buttress at the right side and move up and left on positive edges, pockets and side pulls. Ascend the steep headwall. Above the initial headwall the buttress narrows and climbs on blocky holds and edges past 8 bolts.

Sustained edges with occasional good pockets to rest on.

Climb Fen Gliddich to setup a toprope anchor. Make sure you have 2 quickdraws to place in the directional bolts as you lower down from the anchor (about 10 and 15 feet down and to the right).

This climb shares the start with "Tea Bag." Ascend the left side of the black pillar and continue up and slightly left. Try to follow the darker red colored rock as it seems to be higher quality than the lighter shade. Climb up to steeper terrain near the two directional bolts. The crux was a nice left leaning lieback to get the good holds around the first bolt.

"Tea Bag" climbs the face between "Fen Gliddich" and "English Breakfast Tea."  Ascend the left side of the black pillar and traverse right, under the small roof, under the small roof, to a large pocket on the right side of the pillar. Above the pillar, climb on positive edges and pockets to the shallow right facing corner at the top of the face. Climb the face right of the corner on overhanging edges and pockets to the anchor.

Right-most route on the right (east) wall of the "Tea Room." Begins with a bridge across the gap to positive holds above the roof. Pull onto the face and climb straight up through the headwall and then right across the water groove, finish up the arete and right of the groove.

Begin climbing the face to the left of the arete. Continue up the face until feasible to transition to the arete. Work up the arete and pull the bulge on solid blocky features. Stemming between the arete and the face on the right eases the grade. Look for anchors on the right.

Weave up the overhanging face utilizing awesome pockets and side-pulls. Exciting and intricate moves characterize the route.
