Starting the lead of P2 of Cling On (5.9) on Snake Rock at Smith. Shirley’s belaying. Though a bit chossy, two of the three cracks look attractive. However, a large teetering “death block” (next to my face) sitting at their base made me turn back…would’ve made for a bad day had it gone. Photo credit goes to our Nikon Coolpix & tripod & esp. our friend A. who did adjust the shooting angle on it after P1. Arete on right is Split Image an Alan Watts classic clocking in at 5.12 c/d (Sept. 2007).
