Jason Haas 2/3 of the way up 'Batman' a good sport...


Description 

This sport route is shown in Rossiter's topo on p.68, but does not include a description in the book. It was originally bolted in the 1980s.

Locate the obvious South Face route in a blocky dihedral. Move 20ft. left of this dihedral and locate a bolted line. Scramble up onto a ledge with a small tree to get started. Work up past a bolt to a small roof. Clip a second bolt, then pull over the bulge. Continue up past a 2 more bolts and a lost arrow piton over a lip. Climb an easy but runout slab to a bolted anchor. One of the better sport lines in the Flatirons. Technical, but all the holds are there.


Protection 

4 bolts, 1 fixed pin. A blue Alien can marginally back up the fixed pin.

Probably the best route on the Goose.

Good climbing, but my partner and I both thought the first pitch of Raging Bull (aka Cub) up the hill was a much better Flatirons sport climb. Also, this route probably deserves at least a PG-13 rating for the run-out from the last bolt to the lip of the wall.
