Description Suggest change

A long reach out from under the bulge will get your fingers into the lip like crack. Hand traverse and rand hook your way across to the vertical crack then up. When the crack goes vertical you may need to scoop some dirt or sand out of crack. I believe a loose block that lived in there is now gone. Gets 3 stars for the coolness of the lip crack and location.

This route was named after the song in West Side Story. Mr. Cilley always loved them showtunes!

Location Suggest change

This is the obvious slash going from low left to up and right across the bulging lip on the South Face of Snickers. A nice warm spot in the winter. Descend to climbers left.

Protection Suggest change

In an ad for Aliens, Hidetaka Suzuki is leading this route on what I would guess are Aliens. If you were going to lead it, stuff in the 1/2" to 3/4" range should go in the traversing section. I can't really remember what would go in the vertical section, but a guess would be cams around 1" to 1.5"
