The Bends (a.k.a. Decompression Sickness)

Sometimes when you go up too far, too fast, you experience decompression sickness...and without proper caution, this route is bound to induce it. This is an extension to '

Serpant's Rising

'- clip a long sling (important) on the first bolt (after

Serpant's

) before firing into the stunning, upper headwall. This overhanging finish features awesome movement on a variety of grips - one of the best routes at The Crags. Clipping the third draw is tough, but safe, with an attentive belayer.

This is a mega extension to '

Serpant's Rising

', to the right of '

High Tide

'.

15 draws, including a long sling for the 11th bolt. A 70M ROPE IS REQUIRED! unless you lower from the anchors of

Serpant's

.
