Description 

Put by Sites and Martin over the course of several trips this is surely the longest route in Tennessee. Its a traverse but so what. These guys thought outside the box and put up a great voyage through some extremely challenging terrain. Thin face, wide crack, pumping footless climbing. This climb will reward those seeking adventure with some real meat.

Has probably never seen a one day ascent. Named for a snake skin found over 100' up a cliff in overhanging terrain. WATCH OUT!
