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.

Upper part was strenuous today
I sailed through the lower part. Felt like the part after the knife edge was more strenuous than usual.

tough start
completed the 5.9 start, but was put off by a soaked and flowing watery knife-edge. I bailed out moving left at the ledge and up through the cavern. interesting still.

Seemed easier on lead
Sometimes that's the way things go. Well protected down low, unprotected move onto the knife edge.

A tough little 7
Ah, I finally figured out the "secret" to the early moves. Doesn't make them easier, just makes them repeatable.
