Description:

last route on left as you walk up the road. spiders up a small chute and then over a small lip. the route then moves up a series of lay back cracks then left over a jagged arete. finish is rough...you will be tempted to go to the right to "easier climbing". if you do you will be way off route and will be forced to down climb to your protection. a narrows classic!

5 out of 5 stars flash onsight redpoint

This climb pushed me to my limits! The begining dihedral was very dicey but set me up perfect for a figure four over the roof. Next comes the balancey slab section, if you whipper here you could get hurt. Can you say overhang lieback traverse? Traverse razor sharp lip of RIVERS EDGE. (had to change my style) Final move is a mantel over the lip, I found hidden hold at the top just before my arms exploded! Shorter people may have to figure four to mantel. This could be the best route in the world, or at least the best 10.b in narrows. Extreme!
