Knifes Edge
A trad climb located in the
Starlight Summit area.

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"

- Pitch 1 5.12d35mStarts to the left of the rock fall up the blank looking face to the left of the dyke. Smooth holds on a vertical face
- Pitch 2 5.12b30mMove 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
- Pitch 3 5.14a30mThe first of the 3 crux pitches. A technical pump fest and hard to read holds
- Pitch 4 5.14b30mContinue up through the next section of roof befoer a slopey section of face climbingSR to 4"
- Pitch 5 5.14a30mThe 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
- Pitch 6 5.12c25mThis will seem like a breeze after the last few pitches, but still requires some creative thinking
