slithered through this one!
Definitely shouldn't have stopped at the snake "crux" as there was a great stance just thereafter. Gotta stop making this mistake! Getting through that bottom part is worth it for the sweet hand crack!

awesomely fun and very well protected
I have leader's regret. I should have lead this climb. It was really really fun. Bottom part is a head scratcher until you snake your way through it.

The Snake
was charming. Sweet route, one of my favorites at the Fortress. Definitely more appropriately graded when compared to other areas. Watch the rope cutting crack if you TR the route from the anchors.
