How much of a problem is the rattlesnake issue in April/May? I noticed one photo mentioning seeing 20-30 snakes. Is this typical for the area? Are there any areas that have more or less of them? Thanks.

i haven't been there lately, but when i used to climb there fairly frequently it seemed like you couldn't swing a dead cat without hitting a rattlesnake. usually up at the base of the walls. a handful of the routes have names describing these circumstances.
I'll see one about once per year (maybe every six visits on average). Never seen a den of snakes, although I have seen them in cracks on the face on two occasions.

ha ha, like that one that lived in semi-steep chocolate for a while. i remember trying to toss pebbles up into the crack to verify that he was on vacation, or at least making a trip to the grocery store...
