Bat Wing

5.10a, Sport, 100 ft (30 m),  Avg: 1.8 from 4 votes
FA: Evan Wisheropp, 3/21
California > Northwest Calif… > Cecilville Bluffs > 3. Broken Buttress

Description

Scramble up a mantley slab, then make a long juggy overhanging traverse. When the bolts stop traversing, go straight up (the crux throw just above the 7th bolt). Walk right across a grassy ledge and climb attentively to avoid sharp rock at the 5.8 finish with an optional natural thread.

This route isn’t wildly amazing or anything, but it’s an enjoyable line that is a convenient warm up right where the trail first meets up with the wall. 

Location

Shared start with Top Shelf and House Of Pain, located just right of the start to Become The Sun

Protection

12 bolts

[Hide Comment] Had a weird event happen today, I was belaying my partner down, as she was cleaning a snake fell from above me. Don’t know if it was a bird or it can off a ledge but now I know I have a fear of falling snakes. Probably wouldn’t have happened if we followed to clean as that would’ve been quicker. But heads up for falling snakes I guess May 29, 2023
