[Hide Comment] I was about to climb this last fall and the start looked to have a black widow living in it.
I am a big baby I know, but hopefully someone moves so I can give it a go. Apr 12, 2012

[Hide Comment] We had what appeared to be a small rattlesnake in the crack off the ground on the right. The little guy was mellow and never moved much. Apr 12, 2012
