Description

Walk 20' into the second chimney right of Dinkum and look up. Batman Can't Fly goes up a slightly overhanging crack on your right side to a roof split by a squeeze chimney. After transitioning into the roof (crux) arm lock, work your way out through the roof with solid arm locks until it's wide enough to squeeze through on the far end. It is short, but very fun, and definitely a worthy climb.

Location

Second chimney right of Dinkum. 20 feet in and on the right.

Protection

2-8"

Batman Can't Fly. Photo is at the crux, transitioning from the hand crack to the roof. I find it easiest to traverse to the far end of the chimney, where it is wider, then squeeze through there.
