Post by **finish jug** » Thu Jul 05, 2007 12:35 am

I was lowering off cosmic trigger today, and started to walk back up to the cliff and almost stepped on a 3 ft copperhead... About a minute later my partner noticed another one about a foot from where i lowered... so watch out..the den is directly on the lower off.....muir valley ....inner sanctum!!!

That routes was dry enough to climb, then. I've never found it in that condition.

Or he is just really strong and a wet .12 is nothing.

ok, I really don't really know...I was just assuming when he/she signed Shannon. I just assumed it was a female...guess you know what happens when you assume (or I just made an ass out of me)

Pigsteak (real name: Sally) is one of those girls who can't climb 5.12.

We were out at Purple Valley and there was a nest of three copper heads at the base of Electric Cowboy. For inspiration, it was â€œfinish the route or get lowered into the snake pit.â€
