Description:

The dark water streak to the right of Snake's Head Dihedral...Mark Herndon, one of the early climbers @ Quartz, took a hundred footer on this route and survived, so maybe you can, too! It helped that Onan Goat realed in armloads of slack at the belay. If you hit the sea of knobs on the lower first pitch you will probably get hurt. It is easier with sticky rubber. Put up with EB's. F.A. Duane Raleigh, Rick Thomas (1980)
