Scott Bennett midway through the Bombay Chimney on The Naked Edge during a speed record attempt practice run. 4 days after this photo was taken, Scott and partner Brad Gobright set the current (as of 1/2015) speed record at 24m57s.

Dare I say, "King of the Edge"? Stefan Griebel making it look easy (P5).

The boulder problem, which I think feels more like 10a if you have good beta and a long wingspan.

P4 chimney. You can see the infamous pin below my right foot. The draws above look a little closer than they actually are, but this still gives a good idea about the amount of 'runout' on this pitch. Photo by Adam Sinner.

The P2 slab, taken from Anthill Direct. You can peer around the corner here to scope out Jules Verne. The slab is about 5.8. After turning the arete to the left at the top of the slab, there is a airy and steep 10b section with climbing a bit above a small but good nut.

Starting the technical crux off the ledge on pitch one. The real crux is at the top of the pitch.

Dan Cohn entering the P4 crux section; the spectacular time of day made the climbing on this pitch particularly spectacular. The #2 Mastercam out left with a long sling would probably hold a fall as well as the #1 MC below the fixed pin (cleaned here, previously at his feet). Definitely one of the finest climbs in America, though there are too many to truly quantify that statement.

Clipping the fixed pin on the pitch 4 prior to entering the chimney.

Pretty shitty handjams, eh? Pigeon shitty that is! This was the first time The Naked Edge had been climbed since February.
