Description
I named the route slithering skink because I saw a blue-tailed skink the day I sent it and the route wanders a lot. This route has three cruxes. The first is transferring from the right ledge into the right facing corner. The second is a high step long reach left of the corner through the horizontal cracks. The third is moving up the corner from the nice rest ledge. The easiest way is to match the left gaston with a right side pull and stand straight up to grab a nice hold on the ledge.There are a lot of ways to do this route, the easiest is around 10c.
