Description

The crack is so named because during bridge reconstruction a saw cut into the rock face leaving elliptical indents resembling serpentine scales.

During the bridges 2017 reconstruction a diamond back nest under the crack was found to be troublesome for bridge workers, so the construction foreman used old people tongs to pinch rattlers and throw them into a cooler for relocation.

Protection

1 TR bolt. If climbing with crash pads a spotter is a good idea
