RIP Baby Batso

RIP Baby Batso TR starts in an obvious vertical crack where two large flakes join together leaning back against the main ridge of Hunting Horse Hill.As of Aug 2020, the route is setup as a TopRope anchoring on a large live cedar and a 4’ vertical crack between two large boulders to the north of the tree. Long slings can work to anchor the vertical crack but a static rope or other rope will be needed for the tree anchoring.FFA is open but top of route is uncleaned and protection opportunity is limited so be warned.Undercling the start and establish feet. Handjam the choke and move up. Climb using crack and whatever face features you need to gain the height of the top-rope biners for an easy but fun warmup for the harder routes nearby.A cruiser route with a few interesting moves and stance opportunities - if you find protection points please update this info.Topping the route out above the height of a TopRope to the left of the slanted body-width chimney increases the difficulty noticeably with two 5.9 moves, and utilizing a not so obvious jug and hard to find crimps makes the awkward moves go.Route is named in honor of a small bat whose nap was  rudely interrupted when a 1’ flake broke off the wall on FA.---From the exit of the Mt Scott Camping area which is 0.25 miles west of the 6' monolith at the base of Mt Scott Road, hike 0.9 miles skirting the SW flank of Mt Scott's Boy and following the meadow to Hunting Horse Hill's southern slope. Follow the slope NE and after passing a few large boulders you will see Spite Your Face on top of the first obvious slab.
