Lichening The Serpent 5.11c  NM : Santa Fe Area : ... : Early Wall - Right End

The opening moves set the tempo for this exposed and sustained classic. The crux is through the bottom moves but does not jump out at you as a crux at any time. It is pretty sustained, balancy, and thin climbing from the get go. You have to move like a serpent would in S shapes and have good footwork. Very interesting and a must do, but not on a wet day....[more]   Browse More Classics in NM
