Access Issue: PRECIPITATION AND WET ROCK Details

The sandstone here is easily damaged when wet. Please allow at least 24-48 hours before climbing after any precipitation. If the ground is at all damp, please do not climb on any local sandstone. Consider nearby options on basalt, limestone, granite, or plastic instead.

Description

The climbing started right off the ground and was consistent almost the whole way up. The last 20-30 feet or so eased up and there was a good stance at the anchors. Fun cracks to put gear in, but it didn't strike me as a good beginner trad climb. Better as a climb for a 5.7 trad leader to stretch themselves on.

Location

After following the trail between two rock faces (on the back side of Island in the Sky), you will come to a clearing. On the wall on the left you will see some bolts going up. About 20 feet to the right of this is a series of vertical cracks and features going up. This is the Bat's Meow.

Protection

There were enough cracks and features to only use small to medium cams on this climb, though a climber could find placements for large cams as well. Chain anchors at the top to rappel from.
