if your profile is accurate and you can do 5.9 trad, you can lead snake dike. the hardest climbing part are a couple slab moves in the beginning pitches. the hardest mental part is the 30-40 ft runouts on the upper pitches.
one of the guys at camp 4 called it snake hike and after we did it, i had to agree. too much hiking involved.
once you can see the rock, it still sucks. we had to bushwhack a little to get to the slabs at the base of the climb.

Thanks Julian. Maybe I did my profile wrong. 5.9 to follow, not lead. However. I'm thinking about just heading out tues after labor day and picking up a partner at camp 4 to do it. Do you have any favorite climbs at yosemite in about the same difficulty or similar? -Jesse

I'm planning on being in yosemite those dates and wont have a partner. I've never climbed in the valley before but I think I can probably lead it.
