Now THAT'S rope drag!

This climb at Buffalo Crag, Milton (ON), is called "Dodger", and I forget if it's a 5.7 or a 5.9. Either way, it certainly fooled me on the routefinding.

It started innocently enough, as I made my way up a tricky right facing crack and onto a sunny ledge where I came across a peaceful snake!

I then started meandering left (as the picture suggests), until I arrived below a large overhang. At this point I girth hitched a four foot runner to a natural rock-formed handle, and looked down... man, that's going to be some nasty rope drag.
