Description
Edge of Time is an alternative start to get to the beautiful hand and finger cracks above the Big in Japan anchors. The cracks were originally climbed as the latter half of Thin Slice in Time. However, IMO this is a more logical and better way to get to the cracks than doing Thin Slice (no offense to Thin Slice's FA party).
Begin by scrambling up the low-angle shale ramp in the yawning chimney right of Big in Japan. After about 20 feet, climb obvious holds up the overhanging wall of the chimney then step around the corner and up to a point right of Big in Japan's anchors. Follow incipient cracks leading right and up, close to the edge of the chimney, and continue to the finishing cracks.
