Description Suggest change

AKA "StarkNatural"  This is a great addition to the Bat Wall.  This route climbs a lot like the other upper pitches: well textured incut crimps and jugs.  Big moves between big holds.

From the Lost Boys anchor venture up a few bolts to the base of the looming arete.  From there begin bearhugging the arete feature clipping permadraws.  This is some really enjoyable climbing culminating in a dynamic throw to a BIG hold. Finally two consecutive mantles and you'll arrive at the chains. 

(you can climb this route from the ground via Natural Mystic using a 70m rope.  Once you're at the Lost Boys anchor pull the rope through and toss it back down to your belayer, or if you skipped enough bolts and/or extended your draws, you shouldn't have too much rope drag)

Location Suggest change

Begins at the Lost Boys Anchor- Obvious arete with permadraws about 20 feet above

Protection Suggest change

bolts, some permadraws (12 ish draws- alpine draws recommended to mitigate rope drag) 70m to lower
