Located on the northwest side of the Superstition Mountains “The Hand” is a very noticeable feature. The route we climbed “The Razors Edge” is a low grade (5.6) but the exposure makes this a memorable experience.
Pitch 1) Climb gully, stepping up and left at its top to gain the top of a small buttress where you'll find a fixed anchor.
Pitch 2) Climb up slope on the fin clipping bolts to gain Chicken Ledge at the top (fixed anchor). Lots of climbers try to cross the last very exposed bit of Chicken Ledge by walking. Give it a go!
Pitch 3) Continue up the arete of the fin, clipping the occasional bolt, to the top. A short crack move will be found at the top. You might want a medium sized cam for that.
This was the first time @MoonJuiceHikes climbed this route. Great job on another outdoor climb👍
