Description 

Edge of Time follows the northeast arete and is long and sustained. It offers classic alpine climbing in a superb setting. A major issue in climbing this route is crossing the Kings River. If you go too early the river may not be crossable.

First ascent by Dave Nettle and Jim Howle in the early 90's, impressively done in a push to and from Tahoe.
