The Serpent is mostly unknown route that sits just out of toes reach of East Of Eden, try to keep from wandering. First lead was done by J.Mattson, maybe top roped, only seen a few leads.

Might have a independent start?? You could either start up East Of Eden or Pacing the Cage and climb into the system.

[Hide Comment] I found this route horribly dirty, which significantly diminished the quality (imho). Maybe this is just a consequence of further topside erosion on this wall? The middle face section, and arete climbing below, were caked in dirt and silt. I took the Pacing the Cage start. The offset seam on the low arete requires micro gear to protect. May 19, 2018
