Description Suggest change

Bat Soup starts just to the right of Heat Up the Olive Oil Nonna, in the crack between Spicy Meatball Boulder and the boulder adjacent to it.

To begin the climb start on the ground with your feet jammed into the crack for a bat hang start. A node on the boulder that isn’t meatball makes a great spot for the right heel to rest and set the foot jam proper. After achieving the bat hang use offwidth techniques to wrestle yourself up the crack into an upright position and top out on top of Spicy Meatball Boulder.

Inspired by the Vedauwoo classic “Life Without Parole”

Location Suggest change

Heading west from Medicine park reset your odometer at the blue water towers on the hill. Head west on HWY-49 for 1.9 miles and start to look out right to the north. Trees will line both sides of the road for a few hundred yards and break to an opening where Spicy Meatball sits. To the south are two lone, cow sized rocks in pretty empty grass.

If you missed the blue water towers the Alcoholic Beverages Prohibited sign is 0.6-0.7 miles away.

Heading east from the Mount Scott Rd entrance with the 6' monolith inside the rock triangle, head east 0.5 miles and park. Look NE at 10 o'clock and you should see the most prominent stone in view only 43 yards off the road.
