Steep reachy start, cheater block available for shorter people. Once past the start the climbing eases up but remains tricky to the anchors.

Start off a boulder with finger locks and swing up to jugs, being careful when clipping the 2nd bolt. Go left and up wild pockets to a crack then to the anchors. Pumpy but some rests. Might want to tape right ring finger. Can you find the crystal?

Fun opening moves though small pockets and good crimps lead to steeper rock. After a short dusty sharp section enter a very beta intensive crux which exits on vertical climbing and easier terrain. Grade has not been confirmed probably 12c ish.

A hard layback to the first bolt gets you set up to the second bolt, which is a dyno left to sloping dinner plate. Go through some jugs to technical steep face at top and trend left to anchors.

Start behind dead bush?!! Go up a right trending crack ledge to tricky finger crack and crank up into Horrorscope. Five bolt variation  to that route.

Variation on the route to left. A tricky start leads to small but nice pockets thru a roof. Go right where it comes close to subaru nation. Run out on .8 to clip. Stay right and clip anchors on Subaru Nation. This route was rap bolted.

After Stick clipping the first bolt and pulling the start the angle decreases to only mildly steep, but the holds shrink and the climbing gets technical.  Pull the first crux involving a long reach of an undercling and head up to the second harder crux.  Grab a sharp, painful, awkward pocket, make a hard pull and hit the better holds above.  Slightly run-out at the top, but much easier climbing.

start on a giant teetering rock stack. depending on how tall you are or how many rocks are added to this stack this can be the crux of the route. the lower you start the harder it is! I think 13a if you start on bottom of the side pull and 12c if you can reach all the way to the first set of crimps. After start move left and continue up to horizontal roof. Fun moves on good rock! Holds are much less abrasive than most Bat Cave routes. Better to stick clip second bolt if working on first moves.

Shares Start with Path and climbs Right under large horizontal roof.  Pulls to vertical rock then crux on second smaller roof.

Stick clip a high first bolt and go up the steep roof on dark rock. Continue through a crack to horizontal. Cut left and go up an open book to the anchor. Pumpy, sharp, and reachy! There is also a new .12c to right of this route called Letting Go.

The only climb remotely resembling a warm up in the bat cave proper area. 

  The crux is the start over a bad landing to a high first bolt.  So you might want to stick clip it.  Make a few hard moves up to and past the first bolt to easier climbing ahead.

The route starts in steep pocketed corner, which changes to a blunt arete after 20'. There is a spicy clip towards the top but you can work the arete to get a good stance; the arete has relatively positive holds but most people are pumped (myself) by this point. Good route, but a "Freebourne hardman route". Why are most entry level routes sparsely bolted and then the 12's and harder usually over bolted? Put up on lead.

Start off a boulder and onto the face. Go right on roof, then go up to arete, to a difficult clip. Mike fell here from broken hold and didn't hit slab, but use caution. We wish it was rifle-esque, name goes with routes to the left. Good moves on roof to a lesser finish.

The crux passing first bolt to blind holds. Follow juggy face and crack to top. The route is loose on middle ledge and mostly 5.9 climbing. I want to chip crux to keep it all .9!!! Was put up on lead, anchors and 3rd bolt need to be moved.

This is the obvious spill-off area which has formed a large amphitheater. Overhanging sport climbs on positive holds is the standard here. At first glance, I thought it was loose choss, but it is surprisingly good basalt.  This is a very beautiful spot, please respect it and tread lightly. STICK CLIP IS A MUST! All routes require a pre-cliped first bolt and Consider a Helmet.
