Just as the name suggests, Jagged Edge climbs a narrow face of rock squeezed between two aretes, lightly seasoned with sections of sharp quartzite.  This is heady for a 5.8 lead, mostly due to the shallow, thin and/or irregular placements.  With a little creativity, this does not have to be runout.  There are ample rests along the route and good feet will get you through the thin crack or crimps crux on the right side of the most vertical section near the top.  Fun route and a great warmup for Wave Break (5.11a R) next door.

Jagged Edge

Wave Break

Surf up jugs in and around a winding crack to a good rest midway up the route.  Choose between the left variation that climbs past a bolt through a reachier face or follow the flake system to the right.  Either way, a short and sweet crux awaits as the routes diverge.  An additional crux rewards those choosing the bolted line, which protects a continuance of the jug haul from the start.  Delightful!
