Description
This is the low(er) start to Batman Went to Space. Start with your left hand on a hidden crimp and your right hand on a sloper/crimp high right. Do a punchy left hand move to large sloper in the obvious crotch of the prow and then another move to the stand start for the prow/bat hang starting jug.
This is a fun and fairly pure line. The "lie down" start seems to have an even lower start that is just too hard for me.
