rattler in lcc
|
watch for rattlers - top of first pitch of western grebe (black peeler) just to the left of "hard mantle start" to second pitch, my partner almost cammed a rattler while setting an anchor in the horizontal crack at the base of that second pitch - pretty good sized one - more afraid of us than we were of it - but in sort of a suprising place |

Gez there are definitely a few of those around LCC. I saw a very good sized unknown tan snake around four feet long, with yellow stripes around his body. He was about as wide around as a silver dollar. Can anyone identify this guy? I was on the trail just above the LCC park and ride lot about a week ago. |

They are the only non-venomous i can think of that big around there. dwrcdc.nr.utah.gov/rsgis2/s… |

Storm Mountain picnic area rattlesnake
From the evening of 25 June. Just below the start of Layback Crack in BCC. Never rattled. Almost stepped on it... |

^Gez the snake stoke keeps coming from everywhere I have been climbing lately. Anyone ever seen any rattlers up at Alta? I have heard some folks say that they have seen them up there, but I find it hard to believe... |
|
I believe it Ty. I've seen rattlers up in the Lone Peak Cirque so it's completely possible for them to be in Alta. |
|
Greg's right. I've seen a rattler at almost 11,000 on sunrise peak |

Read an article on High Altitude rattle snakes last year. There has been an influx of these snakes throughout the last 10 years. Next they will be on Broadway. |

I saw a couple rattlers near the West Slabs topout earlier this year, which is roughly comparable in elevation to the base of Alta. |
