Description
Ra is a 400 feet high fin of stone in an alpine setting at close to 10,000 foot elevation. Several sport routes, a long mixed route, and some trad lines have been developed on this West-facing crag. Numbering begins on the right with the second bolted route encountered, "Empire of the Air" (#1), at four pitches with bolts and trad encountered in each pitch. "Miner's Delight" is an adjacent bolted line that runs up two pitches and has a variation with its own belay and a separate second pitch. "Windows on the World" takes the major, obvious South-facing shield to a super exposed arete finish. More trad routes can be found uphill from these. Development has continued in 2003, and as a result, the landscape can be evolving - I'll try to keep it up to date.
As of 2020, references to location based on the number of routes from the first one encountered are all out of date due to new route development. Best to use the photos to locate routes
