Years back, I would grab a friend or two and head for the rocks almost every weekend. I always worried about this but, fortunately, I never had the opportunity to discover how I'd handle it.
Where did that picture come from? Can I use it in my English presentation on tieing in with a figure 8 knot? It would be awesome for the section of "WHY you tie in. "

Funny you bring up the snakes in a hand-hold scenario. That actually happened to me while doing some top-roping at Castle Rocks in SF bay area. I went to put my hand into a nice pocket and saw something move slightly. Luckily I wasn't too tired to ignore it. When I looked, there was a small rattle snake coiled up in there. Needless to say, I said "F@%#" and chose a different hand-hold.
