This climb starts just to the left of Ragged Edges on the obvious finger crack. Then angle up and left past a few bolts up varnished slippery face to the top. You can also traverse right to the Ragged Edges Anchor (5.10-). The finger crack is nice with good locks and gear.
The finger crack is very good....the rest of the route isn't IMHO.

We top-roped pitch one today from the Ragged Edges chains; perfect hand and finger crack with extremely fun and varied moves. The crux is at the top right before the chains and is tough (slick!!!) for sure! Pitch two looks like it could be interesting (See: Slick and crazy).
The first pitch is definitely 5.9. The move to the chains has slick feet, but if you get your weight over them they're OK. Definitely creepy, but OK. Didn't do the 2nd pitch. Looks pretty darn bold.
my first crack lead! (climbs more like a sport route w/ a crack that takes gear whenever you want it) i think it's an awesome first pitch! i'd love to honor it by leading the 2nd pitch as well some day. I think first pitch goes at 10a.
From what I understand, this route doesn't really have a first pitch. You can stop at the anchors that are at the 30' mark, but to claim this one or Ragged Edges, you've got to top out.
yeah, well, Mr. Snipes threw down yesterday for the send- nice one Darren! I managed to follow it without falling, but I'm not sure I have the cajones to lead it.
This was one of my first climbs at Red Rocks. Harrison the younger led it very confidently and so I thought if a teenage girl can do it. . . I guess boldness runs in genes.
Shortly after this I did black magic panties (even more sketchified) and gained a new appreciation for vegas climbers.
