Description

Guilt Edge is in an awesome and beautiful spot high up in the Chessmen, just east of the horseshoe area. It is easy to know if you are in the right area, as it is right next to the North Needle, a large Needles Eye type feature. When viewed from the west it appears to be a very pointy spire. While it is certainly an individual spire, it is also kind of a long fin.

Getting There

Approach from any of the Chessmen approaches is about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Once you reach Death Flake Arete, Limp Richard, etc, continue west to the high point of the ridge.
