2. Only neutral or rock-colored bolt hangers are allowed. A permit is required to replace or add new bolts: nps.gov/jotr/planyourvisit/…
Seasonal Closures:

The presence of a prairie falcon nesting in very close proximity to a variety of climbing routes requires closure of "Fat Freddie’s Cat,” “Freak Brothers Dome,” “The Weenie,” “Pea Brain,” and “The Red Obelisk."

Description
Yet another variation to Sidewinder, this is the hardest of the "snake" routes, and although offering good climbing is seldom done.
Starting a ways right of Sidewinder, climb powerful, bouldery moves over the obvious stepped roof to gain the dike of Sidewinder at it's start. Traverse left to join Sidewinder at it's last bolt and finish up that route.
A worthwhile route to do if competent at the grade, and a logical start to access and fully enjoy the fantastic dike system that characterizes Sidewinder.
