The Edge!

The Naked Edge.

The boulder problem, which I think feels more like 10a if you have good beta and a long wingspan.

P4 chimney. You can see the infamous pin below my right foot. The draws above look a little closer than they actually are, but this still gives a good idea about the amount of 'runout' on this pitch. Photo by Adam Sinner.

The P2 slab, taken from Anthill Direct. You can peer around the corner here to scope out Jules Verne. The slab is about 5.8. After turning the arete to the left at the top of the slab, there is a airy and steep 10b section with climbing a bit above a small but good nut.

Bart working up the slab on the second pitch.

Dan Cohn entering the P4 crux section; the spectacular time of day made the climbing on this pitch particularly spectacular. The #2 Mastercam out left with a long sling would probably hold a fall as well as the #1 MC below the fixed pin (cleaned here, previously at his feet). Definitely one of the finest climbs in America, though there are too many to truly quantify that statement.

2 young guns on their first Eldo climb. Picking The Naked Edge is a proud line to start with!

Hard move onto the ledge midway up pitch one.

About to enter the chimney on the fourth pitch.

Pretty shitty handjams, eh? Pigeon shitty that is! This was the first time The Naked Edge had been climbed since February.
