Loran on her first trip up the Snakehead at Baldy Point, Dec. 11, 2005. In typical windy and cool conditions.

Unknown climber follows local hardmen mike hankins and tony mayse up S-wall 5.9.

You cant see chase, but all three are free soloing up the snakeshead formation. Two photos spliced together adn rotated to make look more vertical.

My bud Julie back on the rock only five weeks after major surgery to repair a collapsed lung.

The top of the snakes head features a featureless slab best suited for solo work. Dragging up ropes just slows you down.

The S-Wall on Baldy Point. It looks like an 'S'. (Is that forty characters?)

Russell, Dan and Tony (left to right) on S-Wall at the 2003 Quartz Mtn Spring Fling or... the cover shot of the 2003 edition of Accidents in North American Mountaineering.

I believe this was Russell Hooper on Big Bite. Unremarkable photo, I know. Thing is, he climbed this route, skipped the first two bolts that are shared with S-Wall. Only used the last bolt as protection. He was easily 80 feet off the deck before he had any protection. He made it look like a cakewalk though. Fall Gathering 2006.

A couple from the Texas Mountaineers leads Snakes Head, or rather drags the rope up Snakes Head.
