Batshit Crazy offers a compelling climb on the Little Possibility Wall, a corner of Mt. Evans that challenges with both grit and alpine character. This route demands a blend of steady technique and a cool tolerance for the quirks nature has left behind—namely, a notorious crux littered with marmot droppings that test your focus as much as your moves. The climbing begins with approachable slab sections where friction and route-finding ease your progression onto the more demanding pitch. As you navigate over sizable blocks and edge toward the left-facing corner beneath the wall’s defining roof, the terrain shifts into classic alpine cracks and finger rails.

Pitch one sets the tone with a moderate 5.6 warm-up until you reach the roof, where a brief 5.8 crux asks for precise placements and clean movement to avoid excessive rope drag. The right-traversing finger crack here is narrow but rewarding, guiding you around the imposing roof feature and onto a small ledge lined with a dusty patch that locals have humorously marked. It’s a moment that tests composure before advancing.

The second pitch climbs higher with a few tough moves leftward to catch a solid 5.7 crack, perfect for sustained finger jams and hand jams that lead you comfortably to the summit. Throughout, the rock maintains consistent quality, though the presence of natural debris calls for keen attention.

Gear-wise, a single rack suffices for this two-pitch adventure, but doubles in hand-sized cams can offer extra security on certain sections. Smaller cams, such as Black Diamond’s 0.1 and 0.2, slot perfectly into the finger rail for protection without creating drag. The route’s relatively secluded alpine setting rewards climbers with broad views of Possibility Area’s vast expanse, drawing you into an unfiltered mountain experience that’s rugged without being overwhelming.

Approach trails to Little Possibility Wall begin near a parking area close to Mt. Evans, with roughly 20 to 30 minutes through mixed forest and talus terrain. The approach is steady but requires cautious footing, especially after wet conditions or snowfall. For timing, spring through early fall is ideal, avoiding winter’s heavy snowpacks. Morning to midday climbs offer the best sunlight on the wall’s eastern exposure, helping dry the rock and keep gear manageable.

Batshit Crazy is well suited for climbers comfortable with alpine trad routes who appreciate a bit of humor and challenge mixed with their ascent. While the excrement-laden crux adds an unusual obstacle, it also reminds that climbing outdoors means meeting nature in all her unpredictability. Prepare well with sturdy footwear, hydration, and a willingness to accept quirky sections. Your reward is a route that blends solid climbing with a loud character, set against the vast Colorado alpine backdrop.
