Description 

This is the obvious right-facing corner on the right side of Batman Rock. Belay on a pine-needle covered ledge about 10 m right of the start for Spaziergang.

P1: Climb the corner with good jams (5.8) and excellent pro to a roof; then traverse right under the roof on friction (5.8 PG or S). Belay above the roof after the traverse.

P2: Turn the next roof on the left, then join P2 of Spaziergang for the finish.

Location 

Right side of Batman Rock.

Protection 

Standard rack is sufficient. An extra very small cam (Metolius 0 or 00) is helpful. P1 has many good mid-size nut placements.
