[Jim Erickson](/climber/2560/jim-erickson): > The late, great British climber [Derek Hersey](/climber/1107/derek-hersey) is remembered for his buoyant personality and amazing free solos in the 1980s, perhaps the most famous of which was the Naked Edge, a five-pitch climb with three pitches of 5.11a/b, which he did at least twice. But, despite the Hersey lore and aura, he was not the first person to free-solo it—it was in fact Jim Collins in 1978. Collins was emotionally upset about some personal matters, so he went to [Eldorado Canyon](/crag/5143/eldorado-canyon) on the spur of the moment and, although wearing a harness and carrying a sling and one carabiner “just in case,” free-soloed the whole climb. Collins had done the route before, five times, but it was not well-rehearsed. On two of those five roped ascents, Collins had fallen off.
