4 out of 5 stars Fun climbing.

Led 1-3-5th. Never Having climbed this before, it was exciting. The crux for me was the traverse at the top of the fourth pitch.

4 out of 5 stars Onsight of entire route

Fun climb the whole way up. Each pitch has something exciting about it. a bit scary in places that I felt should have been protected with a bolt and a fall would mean injury for sure. This is the area where your last pro is in some flakes below and you need to climb up and then traverse left on a dyke to the bolts but really there should be a bolt protecting that traverse. The last pitch is a 5.7 Layback and again if felt scary as the pro is very near impossible to place as you cant see anything, all big gear, and to place something would mean a risky barn door fall out. I basically had to solo that pitch.

5 out of 5 stars Fun route

Climbed this with an American who was looking for a climbing partner. I'd lost mine the day before due to a slip on the approach to a Smoke Bluff climb (over 30 stitches). We had a great day on Snake. My friend had a great day on Percocet.
