Batwings- 5.8+/ One of the more challenging 5.8's I have climbed anywhere I suppose. It was hot as hell. Avoid in the sun, you will be shocked at how reflective this wall can be. I only did so to avoid all the folks on the shady routes via a crowded Saturday. The early crux move, “scary” is the word used in the Falcon guide, is well protected by a .4 BD C4 horizontal placement. The dihedral is a pleasure, however, when it peters out, pro becomes a luxury. A .5" Mastercam was critical in a pod before you hit 35' of slab run out. Straight up scares the hell out of you!....just traverse left, then back right following well defined, but not absolute, features. Very good route, one of the best if not the best for the grade at the City. Double rope rap and a full rack with extra hand pieces. Dow
