Description:

Begin directly under the 4 ft roof that overhangs the descent route 50 ft before reaching the Grotto. Rats & Bats climbs the slab and out right over the roof, passing 5 bolts along the way. Sloping edges on the slab and an assortment of pockets at and above the roof define the line.

Descent Options:

rappel 50 feet from the 2-ring anchor or climb over the top of the formation and downclimb left/sout (as facing the route) back to the trail.

4 out of 5 stars Pumpy

Nice, easy face and slab to powerful pockets. The roof moves are powerful and sequential, but well protected. Great route, but short.
