Grade: V4/V5
Moves Incorporated: Face the Crowd, Bat Hang, Drop Knee
Types of Holds: Jugs, Pinches
This route was set for Challenge of the Week # 1 - The Cartwheel like route. There are probably other ways to force a cartwheel like movement, but this route was definitely very challenging for me to visualize. Distance wise and movement wise, I just wasn't really sure what would work for the route. I've never set a bat hang route before because up until now, I didn't have shoes with sufficient toe rubber, and most people at the CAVE don't have them either.
Things I learned: Bat hangs are really hard to force. Most of the guys at the cave can campus a route that has a properly spaced bat hang, so this is definitely something I could see being forced more for girls, but even then there are definitely girls who could probably campus something that is bat hang worthy for their height.
If you have any tips on forcing bat hangs, comment below.
