Description 

This is the easiest route up the face of Ragged. It is usually done in two pitches.

P1: Climb the crack to the top of the slab. Watch for loose rocks on the belay ledge. This an excellent place to take beginners and teach leading. With care, you can downclimb off the left edge of this ledge to the cave behind the slab.

P2: Climb the obvious corner above the slab (steep!) to the top.


Location 

Past Unconquerable Crack, the trail drops down below some large lower-angle slabs. This is the obvious crack in the slab immediately left of Unconquerable.


Protection 

Medium / Large nuts.
