How do you climb if a snake falls on you?

Many times we considered a special case: what to do, when a snake falls on you when climbing?

One option is to get into a stable position and take it off yourself with a free hand. This would be the natural solution, because the snake gives additional weight. However, a true climber knows, that after taking the slippery snake into the hand you will get into trouble: magnesia on the wet hands will make it impossible to hold any rock! Therefore, unless the snake is very fat and heavy, continue climbing with the snake on you!
