Description 

This route is on Batman Pinnacle and begins approx. 100yds. to the right of the standard start of Batman and Robin. Pitch 1/5.9+vs: Look for a nice looking slab just left of a large left-facing corner. Climb the slab and corner, getting gear when you can in the corner, and head straight up to crux cracks through a small bulge, small stoppers/RP's, then trend right to a nice, gravelly stance near a small tree under the large roof on the S.E. face of the pinnacle. Pitch 2/5.10+s: Follow discontinous cracks heading towards the left side of the large roof, until you can crawl in to a leaning, chimney like feature, which turns into the large roof. Place a couple of good cams in the back and mantle up onto small edges where you can reach up and clip the lone bolt. Pull through a difficult section and run it out approx. 20' to a nice stance at the base of the pinnacle headwall, belay here. Finish up on Batman and Robin or descend off the rappells on the left. Jim B. and I led this ground up, onsight, without the bolt on the first ascent. Note: There is a loose flake a couple of feet to the right of the bolt on the 2nd pitch. It is easily avoided, just beware of it.
