The easiest route up Jagged Mountain, through the high notch then contour around the other side, just below the summit on the south side find the easiest access to the top. Mostly 4th Class here. Some very short, easy 5th sections and then a short 5.2 pitch to the top.

The north face of Jagged.
All anchor material was updated/ replaced during Summer of 2017. You can rappel off the summit bolts, and all subsequent rappels as pictured with a single 70m rope. A preferred method is a 35-40m 8.9 mm rope for the way up. Then on the way down, utilize a tag line like the Sterling V-TX 5.4mm cord. This is a super light weight combination. <br> <br> Kling Mountain Guides, based in Durango, is permitted to guide Jagged. <br> <br> http://www.klingmountainguides.com/jagged-peak-climb/
