[Hide Comment] The right hand gaston on the first move is flexing. It held, but I felt sketchy pulling on it. Mar 26, 2023

[Hide Comment] I would avoid climbing Snake Skin if it's been wet recently or there's a lot of humidity. I'm not a geologist, but I think this boulder has some sandstone mixed in, like what you see over in the Pinnacle area. I sent this problem a little over a month ago, and the gaston 2nd hold was super solid, but yesterday, the hold was absolutely flexing like Jonah described. Jul 21, 2023
