1st Pitch- 90’- 510a/ The first pitch of Living on the Edge is one of the more popular climbing pitches at Snow Canyon. Many climb to the chains and just rappel at that point, over the arch itself. Start just to the right of the tall and deep arch that is to the right of the Pioneer Names Arch. The first move is just a simple jump and reach mantel. From there, the holds are quite positive, particularly for the grade, but the wall is nice and vertical. You actually trend left the entire pitch as you hover right over the arch itself. The crux is at about the half way point where the holds get just a little crimpy forcing you to a balance move or two. The belay station is fortified with four bolts in total.
