| Slither | V2 | ⭐⭐⭐ | Start on the slab below the overhanging lip. Establish your feet on the bottom and balance on the slab using the right arête. If you want to make it extra fun, match all four points of your body on your feet. Stand up and tackle the overhang. Tricky for the grade and surprisingly fun. |
