Description

Much more interesting than Buchenweg as the route is more consistently difficult for a while, but once you reach the 1st sling, the difficulty drops again to about 5.7. Also, one of the hardest moves is getting the pocket to clip the high first bolt, making the start scary as hell. The rest of the hard climbing is decently protected by that one bolt, but it's a long ways to the sling. Better top-rope. I think the name has to do with the fact that you have to "snatch" for the jug at the beginning.

Location

Just left of the chimney, labeled.

Protection

1 bolt, 2 slings and an anchor way up at the top.
