Hi all!
After my experience the other day I have decided that it would be cool to mix two of my hobbies. Rock climbing, and Herping.

I went up the canyon to do some bouldering (small climbs without ropes). I went to one of my favorite boulders and I was about 5 ft away from it when I noticed a great basin rattler sitting at its base. I wish I had my camera with me, he was such a great looking snake! It was kind scary because the thing didnt even rattle!
Needless to say I didnt climb that one
I warned the other two climbers in the area. One of them told me he had been climbing a couple of weeks earlier and had almost put his hand on one while climbing! That is one lucky dude...
Anyway, Ill be going alot more this summer and Ill bring my camera in hopes to get some cool pics.
Just thought Id share 8)
