Buckshot Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Last night at the Sunshine Wall I saw my first rattlesnake of the season. The guy we climbed with saw one earlier that day too. I have been seeing gopher snakes a lot but this is the first buzztail I have seen so far this summer. The snake I saw was in the middle of the trail under the Sunshine Wall right about where the "Party in Your Pants" route is. I grabbed its tail and flung him down the valley as far as I could. Not trying to keep people away (though it might be nice to be able to get on a route on a Saturday) I'm just sayin' be careful where you step!

Buckshot Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 I might have jumped and screamed a little first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billcoe Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I would have had a "Party in My Pants" even without touching said reptile, and not a little one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plaidman Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) Either a bad ass or practicing snake handler... Was that practice or did you know what you were doing Buckshot? I wouldn't practice anymore. Edited June 27, 2012 by Plaidman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
