About

Eagle's Edge is a 50-foot sport climb located at Clay Creek Crag near Telluride, Colorado. The route features a technical low crux just a few bolts up, followed by a right-trending line toward a sharp arete. The climb offers swift exposure and is rated moderate. Access involves a short, rocky approach trail that is steep and loose in sections, requiring sturdy footwear. The route is protected by five bolts and ends at a two-bolt anchor. The belay area is described as cramped and difficult to set up, often starting from a steep section of the trail. The cliff faces south, meaning it can bake in the midday sun. GPS coordinates are approximately 38.16663, -108.23833. Parking is available on-site, and pets are permitted. The first ascent was made by Damon Johnston and Charlie Fowler.
