Knifes Edge

A trad climb located in the Starlight Summit area.
5.14b
180m
A testpiece for a lot of climbers. This committing route isnt for the faint hearted. Multiple roof sections and vertical climbing on precarious rock. Strap in!
DR to 4"

  1. Pitch 1 5.12d
    35m
    Starts to the left of the rock fall up the blank looking face to the left of the dyke. Smooth holds on a vertical face
  2. Pitch 2 5.12b
    30m
    Move up and right about 2 meters under the first (of many) roofs along the distinct rock. Move up when it starts to thin out, just before the dyke
  3. Pitch 3 5.14a
    30m
    The first of the 3 crux pitches. A technical pump fest and hard to read holds
  4. Pitch 4 5.14b
    30m
    Continue up through the next section of roof befoer a slopey section of face climbing
    SR to 4"
  5. Pitch 5 5.14a
    30m
    The last crux pitch continue up through another set of roofs and some vertical climbing, thankfully some slightly better edges help with this one and onto a good ledge
  6. Pitch 6 5.12c
    25m
    This will seem like a breeze after the last few pitches, but still requires some creative thinking
