Start by stepping off the large boulder at the far, far right side of the Bat Wall. Engage a small dihedral and crack system straight up to a good stance under the bulge. Place a great hand-sized piece and work into some strenuous underclings culminating in a dynamic crux move to a horn. Pull into another stance with good opportunities for small gear and work the ramp back out left. Clip the new stainless 5-piece bolt (with an ASCA-stamped hanger) that has replaced the original one. Work up and left on amazing holds (pinches, sidepulls, a kneebar!?!) to a final crux at the undercling with a second ASCA bolt at your waist.

Single rack to BD #1, with some extras in the purple to blue Metolius range (green and red C3s). Two original bolts at the very end.

Regarding the grade: I'm super hesitant to upgrade anything but in an effort to keep the crag somewhat consistent, I think low-end 5.12 is fair. At more stout crags I think 11d could stick. The Hunger is harder than The Thirst and Dracula IMO. Jul 12, 2022
