A 9{degree} solenoidal spin rotator or 5{percent} partial Siberian snake was used to successfully accelerate polarized protons for the first time to 10.8 GeV kinetic energy in the Brookhaven AGS. It was found that a 5{percent} partial snake can effectively overcome 18 imperfection resonances in this energy range. We also observed an interference between the spin flip induced by an intrinsic resonance and linear coupling due to the solenoid field of the partial snake. {copyright} {ital 1995 American Institute of Physics.}
