Ascent Notes for: The Edge of Time - 5.9 popular Average Rating : 4.70/5

Classic line in terms of visual aesthetics. Movement is so-so. Old-school grading.

Much harder than a 5.9. I would say it is at least a 5.10b/c.

Yes, there are bolts. Although I would not call it a sport route. Flashed on GO's gear/draws. You can get a good green alien or equiv in the crack in between the 1st and 2nd bolts which I'd say puts it at PG13. I personally thought the crux was pretty hard at 5.9. But I suck at/do not love slab.

Crux is low to the ground and ground-fall scary

I had climbed this route so many times setting trs for people that i wanted a new experience. With the crux at the bottom i wasnt too worried. Great experience.

The pin seemed solid, it can be backed up with a small cam (~#0 Metolius). Don't fall before the second bolt or you'll probably deck if your belayer's not on it. Very pretty area, not a hard route.

Great aesthetic climb. It's rated R, but I don't see why. It's protected well enough. I was surprised by how hard the beginning was, and fell once before redpointing

Classic climb, great view. It was bolted when I was there.

I found the crux to be at/above the first bolt. With Long's peak as a back drop, the view is fantastic. Fun route

Great climb. Featured on the cover of the RMNP estes valley climbing guidebook.
