Description

This fairly major variation climbs high quality stone between

Bat Crack

and

Hand Over Hand

. A thin, somewhat runout, traverse moving left from

Bat Crack

gains an overlap which is followed out left to a logical point at which to pop over it. A juggy runout slab leads to another overlap that turns into an angling left-facing corner. When the corner turns back into a horizontal overlap, surmount it, slab climb up to the crag's main roof and belay. From here we moved left, under the roof, over to the final headwall on

Hand Over Hand

and topped out.

Location

This is a variation linking

Bat Crack

to

Hand Over Hand

. Exit left from

Bat Crack

after 30 feet or so.

Protection

The traverse out of

Bat Crack

has a few thin moves from which you would not want to fall. The rest of the runouts are on juggy terrain. Bring a standard rack with a few extra shoulder-length runners.
