In the early days of progression servers, Gorge of King Xorbb is a busy place and hard to get a camp. Chasm crawlers are a good alternative for kiters that wanted to xp and get the caster loot from the gorge because you can zone out of the the gorge to East Karana and there is ample supply of the snakes to kite.
Pull them off to the side as they will assist even if the assister is low level to you.
For the cash-starved, the loot is decent for vendoring as reported by Lovejoy in 2000.
The poison will only be a factor on a progression server or if you are choosing to play with no modern gear.
Kiters that cannot fd, can always zone into the gorge to drop aggro.
As a plus, if you are really just waiting for the Evil Eye camps in the gorge to open up, this is at least a productive use of your time in the teen levels while you are waiting around.
