Description Climb up the center of the slab past five fixed anchors to a bolted belay. It looks thin but the low angle makes it possible.
Location Located about 60 feet left of Baby Blue just left of a deep sandy recess. It starts behind some bushes up a large fin like protrusion. The route climbs up the slab in the middle of the fin.
Protection 5 quickdraws

| This was my first lead climb. My buddies didn't know that and it was a little nerve racking, but it is a fun climb and I think not a bad intro to smearing on sandstone. |

| Called Snake Slab in the new Moab guide [2011]. Super fun climb but strong for an 8. Pretty positive holds going to first bolt, leading to a slabby finish. Apparently I made it harder by working the side of the arrete, missing a face move that unlocked it [somewhere by the 2nd bolt]. Highish first bolt and classic sand stone moves make this a great Moab route. |

| There is a good large to medium nut placement on the below and left of the first bolt. Put a long sling on it to minimize rope drag above. |

| The runout to the first bolt is contrived and possibly dangerous for a 5.8 climber. Makes this an "okay" route at best. Much better climbs nearby |
