Snake Dike - Climbing partners?

Postby carlinseattle » Sat May 10, 2014 11:39 am

I will be heading down to yosemite next week. May 12th-17th. Would like to find some experienced folks to head up snake dike. I have limited climbing experience but have climbed at smith rock and in the gym. bringing a harness and helmet. any leads would be great . thanks

I don't know whether you can find anyone or not. Have you researched that climb at all?

Here is Summit Post's description of it.

If you feel this is remotely within your abilities, you might go to Camp 4 - it's the walk in camp that traditionally has a lot of climbers in it.

Note that it is a STRENUOUS 7 mile one way, 4000+ feet of elevation gain, hike to get to the bottom of the Snake Dike - with a couple miles of bushwacking cross country in the mix.
