One of the route's must stunning features is found half-way up the layback crack. How a King Snake got to this point on the wall (90 feet above the ground!) boggles the mind.<br> <br> Keep this in mind when climbing in the area - the snakes in Rattlesnake Canyon climb 5.7.

This face, in between The Labrador Ate the Cupcakes and Ugly Duckling has been bolted with a rap station at the top of the face with the dark streak. It looks short, but tough. The lower section is slightly overhanging, making for a tough start.

Patrick Callery leads the stunning, upper headwall of Fun in the Sun, in Rattlesnake Canyon. <br> <br> Don't get confused by the rope hanging straight down from Patrick.
