Where Lizards Dare has been burning in the back of my mind for a few years. I dragged my partner up to Fortress so I could climb this. A party was putzing around on Calypso III. I was like Dammit! I look over at The Snake...I'm like aw maaan. I really dont feel like doing offwidths today... So I gear up and levitate up the Snake. I was shocked. That sucker really took me for alot back in the day. My 2nd comes up. The folks on Calypso III were like "Where are you two going???" I'm like "Up there" and pointed. Their jaws drop!
The climb went fairly smooth albeit slow. I ended up chugging a few hard layback moves for the final jug.
A weight has been definitely been lifted from my shoulders!
