Jules Verne pops the large curved roof about 20' up and left. Also,you can exit the chim on P4 of the Edge straight over the roof above me, then traverse right to the belay, but most choose to exit right from the slot. I don't think anyone has popped the roof on the chim, then continued straight up - looks exciting, take your brass nuts ;-) There's also an older 12a/b bolt line that starts up and left just after the hard ramp/layback moves on the 5th pitch, I believe it's called "Sickness Unto Death" or some such thing...

Not sure how I missed this thread before, but great stories and shots.
George Meyers and I climbed the Naked Edge in 1986; we even bootied a #1 Friend from near the start of the last pitch. One of the classic multi-pitch free routes.

I'm proud to say that I was with Brassnuts a couple of months ago on his 110th ascent of this route (maybe the 4th for me). Dave could probably do the route blindfolded.

A Colorado bump to help keep SuperTopo from falling into the sea.
And to keep climbing featured on page 1.
So folks will quit bellyachin' about forum content.

The OP story about a 1969 ascent of the Edge fits as sort of a prequel to this backward
look on life in Eldorado 1970-71.
That's among the historical essays in Steve Levin's Eldorado Canyon guidebook, which
came out last year. And incidentally features a fine Naked Edge shot on the cover.

Great thread for an ultra classic route!
Some photos and a rather odd account of Jim Collins' free solo of the Edge from Glenn Randall's wonderful Vertigo Games, 1983. Buy my tube socks!!!LOL

Somebody else needs to go up there and have misadventures climbing the thing, to write up for armchair entertainment.

The Naked Edge is open! Early opening this year as the falcons did not nest on the Diving Board. Do it! :-)
