Description Follow the blunt South arete to the top of the cliff, staying within an arms reach of it. This route feels more "5th class" in some sections than others, and the subgrade I have given reflects the overall feel of it. There may be a slightly harder move here or there. The rock is cleaner, less broken, and is more exposed than the standard 'East Face South Side' 4th class slab.
Location This route ascends the very South edge of the Harmon Flatironette. Go South to the South edge of the SW Slab, perhaps 30 meters SW of the Cave entrance, on the "deeper" inset level of the Flatironette. Walk uphill slightly around the blunt South arete to a point where you can step onto the rock, perhaps 5 meters below the lowest point, just above a small downed tree.
