The Ragged Edge #2

FA Pete Absolon, 1987
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

Bold and serious, this psychological test piece was originally onsight free solo’d by Pete Absolon, only to later have two bolts put in on lead by Sandy Fleming, Darell Hensley, and Jesse Tucker, who unknowingly thought it hadn’t been climbed, after Jesse backed off his own onsight free solo attempt.

Begin on the left side of the patio ledge, and climb the extremely runout crystal pinching slab past two bolts. Eventually the route rides along the arete for a short distance before moving back right on the face to an X rated no fall zone on slightly easier terrain that takes you to the top of the pinnacle. Be extremely solid at the grade before attempting even the lower section with two bolts is rated R. 

Location

Just left of Climbers in Torpor, this route is the left most route on the Patio Ledge. 

Protection

2 bolts, .4”-3” cams, no anchor
