Overview of Sidewinder, any info. Cuts left @ the ...
Description
Really good route. Not sure if FA. An old Rolo guide has it as a 5.?. Start on Capt. Beyond, cut left at first roof, obvious ring bolt. Cool movement, cross overs and stuff. 2 more pins get you to the left crack. Climb this all the way to the big ledge. Long pitch. Lots of climbing. 1st pin is tough to clip. Could possibly get a PG-13 rating. Grade might be a wee bit soft, climbed "Three Mousketeers" next to it, and it felt as hard, that gets a 5.11c. Whatever, highly recommended.
Protection
Bring a couple extra in the yellow and green Alien size.
Kevin, this is a good line. I seem to remember doing it a very long time ago, but don't remember going all the way over to the other crack (Beginner's Mind?). I do not think we were the first to do this either. Killer climbing on killer rock.
