Description
Axe edge is on the Northface. When facing Axe edge from Picture Window the route goes up the right edge. One old bolt takes you up the face to the arĂȘte follows easier holds to top. Jake Ferguson made the second ascent. As far as I know it has yet to be repeated. Some have tried and been lucky enough to walk away. ( see photo below)
There is also a new single bolt to the left. A direct up the face with this bolt makes it more of a face climb. Possible 5.8ish X.
