Ascent Notes for: Ragged Edges - 5.8 Average Rating : 4.08/5

full on 5.8, or maybe 5.9. That 2nd pitch is wide hands and slick coming off the belay, but has several fun moves. Used a #5 and #6 on the 2nd pitch. Has 1 pink tri-cam placement outside the crack.

Led 2nd pitch. Leaving the belay was the crux. Seconded 1st pitch which was really fun.

Lead only the first pitch.

John led the first pitch and then Jean and I followed. Lots of fun!

Fun climb. Love the feel of the rock, smooth jams..no tape.

nice route, thoughtful face climbing up high, probably easier than p1. Slightly runout.

Makes you think.

If you are comfortable at the grade, you don't need the big gear. I only had a 4.5 witch I place dright at the start of the wide section. Up higher you get some small gear on the Ragged Edges. If 5.8 is your limit, you will probably want the big guys.

didnt have enough big gear. p1 felt pretty stout for 5.7 though, at least compared to other red rocks routes. fun.
