Description Suggest change

Originally put up Free Solo by Jim Thurmond in 1984. Great trad route at the Gendarme. Starts up wide leaning crack in ramp corner. Leads to double crack face movement toward the top. Gear is mostly good, Double Rack.

Named Kingsnake due to the surprising serpent encounter during the first ascent Ha!
