Approach


Hike up from Humber Park to Lunch Rock and then head up the ledge as though you were going to do the Trough. Solo the beginning of the Trough. Cut left and head directly to the very beginning of the Bat Crack (Vampire Direct), it is hard to miss.

Route Description


Cimb the obvious crack to its end and then traverse left to the bolts and belay. Continue left to the flake and then climb up (awesome). Look for more bolts to the left and downclimb a little and belay. Climb back to the flake (awesome) and go up to the bolt and climb the thin crack. Continue to another belay stance that takes gear to 3 inches. Traverse left and climb straight up over the overhangs and be proud of a classic route!

Essential Gear


The more you bring to 3 inches the happier you will be. The first pitch really can take a bunch of gear if you are not careful.
