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.

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.

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

The Naked Edge, 10/19/2018, ~4:30pm.

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.

Such a beautiful line!

Trying to get off the ledge. This is one of many things that didn't work for me.

Unknown climber on P1 of The Edge. These blonde gods did Diving Board in the morning, and started up the Edge when we were on P2 of T2. They were scrambling down the Upper Ramp when we were on P4 of T2, and were in the bar having beers when we were on P6.
