We were sitting at the base of one of the strubens routes a couple of weeks back when a snake cruiseed right behind us (we moved very politely to get out of its way). Dont know what kind it was - small though (+/- 30 cm's)

caught a berg adder at the base of squaker (bronkies crag) a few weeks back. released it amongst the rocks a few meters from the climb. the poor girl hanging from the top rope did not think it was an amazingly beautiful creature......

Mokganjetsi: last year a snake was seen at Bronkies at chains of Rock Flower (next to Squeaker). That climber apparently also did not appreciated the snake's beauty

Clinton Martinengo took this photograph after he nearly stood on this fellow when leaving Lion's Head... :shock:

A few friends were on Lion's Head recently and also bumped into one of these fellows... a slightly smaller one though, so I am assuming there are more around!

My my Clinton that is a beauty. I wish mine was that big and angry! Maybe next time you should have taken it home to Guy Holwill and left it in his garden?
