Description

A little bit of a contrived, but fun line. Named for a feature that resembles a snake crawling off the top of the boulder. *Please refrain from yarding on the snake feature as it's fragile and not a viable hold. 

Location

On the SW corner of the boulder. SDS with RH in a golf ball shaped pocket with a thumb catch, LH in a diagonal 3 finger pocket. Reach up and left to a perfect flat sidepull, then grab a hidden crimp located in an oval shaped patch of white rock with the right. Next,  make a long reach or short dead point with the LH to a hidden dish on the left side of the "snake", then top out. A harder start can be done by starting with the RH in the obvious big hueco.
