I never understood the snooker craze. Its a good route, but not ultra classic. It has the most ascents of any 13a on Spray8a.throwyourgoo though....

Just perfect rock from bottom to top (if the wet spot is dried up). Guess the bottom 2 bolts are a little crimp laddery.

i'm with dustin on snooker. great rock, good position. it maybe doesn't have the most memorable movement, but nothing compared to the boring crimp ladder that is golden boy that everyone raves about. and babe is definitely on par with these great 13a's if that horizontal is dry.

I am not saying snooker is the best, but a good standard for 13a quality. I do think Babe is really good, but it does have a wet jug, and a boringish last 30 feet. Beer Belly? Zendebad? The force? Paradise Lost? Bundle of Joy?
Name dropper is definitely good.

Appalachian Spring is pretty much perfect rock too and a bit longer.
