Description:

Climb the dihedral just right of Harvard, then go right to the arete, then up through the overhangs to the top. Very hard and deceiving moves for the grade.

I'm glad I'm not alone on this one. This is the hardest 5.7! I used the crack. I cursed and screamed my way up this one. I even declared that I was going to quit climbing. To which Jitka said "it is not even over yet" when i got to the big ledge I was pretty freaked to climb the arete. Got up it moaning and groaning. This was harder than most 5.8's and equal to most 5.9s. So glad I didn't lead it!
