Description 

This newly cleaned route should become a classic (and maybe easier - as it cleans up) - corner climbing, an airy arete with a classic Harvest Wall finish.

Climb the slab up to a ledge in a big right facing corner capped with a roof. Work your way up the corner on great holds and a jam or two until possible to step out left and onto the arete. Make an improbable step across to the right and up into a crack. Now continue up past slopers and horizontals to the top.

Location 

At the formerly tree choked right facing corner on the left end of the Harvest Wall. Start near a huge flake leaning against the wall.

Protection 

Standard stuff...small to about a #2, slings. Rap Rings at the top.
