Getting There

Go down the main approach gully for Pinnacle Rock and then turn left (Climber's right). Walk under the amphitheater of "(South) Eastern Medicine" and continue to follow trail cliff-line climbers right for about 300 yards until you come to a big proud buttress. The obvious arete line is "Sssnaked".
