Ghost Snake

Description

This southwest facing wall on the Dome is like a peeling wave. The lower 10-15 feet overhang 4-5 feet from the base then once you pass the overhanging part, the upper wall is a steep slab. Ghost Snake is a route that goes through the center of this overhanging section, pulls past the bulge, and takes on the slick and slabby upper portion.Start on positive holds and find good feet as you work your way up steep bouldery moves to the first bolt, clipping from the best holds you'll find on the climb. The crux comes between the first and second bolt and combines some creativity and levitation to bypass the bulge between the overhang and slab. Once past this section, follow thin holds on the slab upwards and slightly right to link up with the upper two bolts on Frosted Flake and a shared anchor with that climb as well. Route named after a young rattle snake that randomly shows up all summer in 2018 then would just disappear

Location

Located on the southwest wall of the Dome between the large flat rock and the small oak tree.

Protection

6 bolts (last two shared with Frosted Flake), and 2-bolt anchor and rap rings on top (shared with Frosted Flake)
