Climb to the headwall, traverse right along a horizontal crack for five or six feet to below a flaring crack, tenuous feet and a tricky sequence get you to the crack, climb up and slightly right to new anchors.

The crux of Art of Darkness is slightly run out as well as the start, hence the PG-13 rating.  Good route for people comfortable with the grade.

Plain Truth follows a vertical crack system up to a roof.  Work up to the roof on thin holds before pulling the roof on a big jug.

A really fun lead with a cool roof pull near the end.  Great practice for your next trip to the Gunks! 

  Start with face climbing up to an overlap.  Surmount this feature and trend left to follow a somewhat ill-defined crack system up the face to a blocky orange roof split by a big crack near the top.  Pull the well-protected roof on great holds and continue to the top.

Start about 25 feet to the right of Pumpkin Patches.  Climb the thin, delicate face to a good stance.  Better holds lead to a roof, pull the roof and continue up the face over a couple more bulges/roofs.  Stay to the right of a scoop/dish.  Finish up a crack to the top.  This route would be much better if it were cleaner.

One of Jamestown's really outstanding '9s!  Excellent rock and great pro take the edge off a pumpy upper section.  Don't miss this one if you're a solid 5.9 leader. 

  Starting in a well-defined vertical crack system, follow the crack to an overhang.  Pull the overhang and continue to a larger roof above.  Using two parallel cracks, crank the roof and continue to the top, finishing at the big ledge. 

Follow easy ground to a flat featureless roof. Go up and down many times to figure out this madness. Head up to and load the horizontal with gear and bust over the bulge into, like the book says " an ass tightening conundrum of slopers". Prepare for air!!!!!

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.

Climb up and slightly right, aiming for some beautiful orange rock.  On your way to the top, climb steep rock past great horizontals.  Hang on, fight the pump, place gear and get your tail moving... heads towards a vertical crack near the top.

Scamper up to the ledge behind the big tree. Follow a flaring crack laced with horns up to a horizontal break about 15 feet below the roof. Step left a few feet and follow a finger crack up to the little big horn at the roof. Pop the roof and fish in some protection for the second. Then either take dirty cracks to the right up to the trees (original finish), or step left to the crack on Plain Truth and finish at bolted anchors (recommended).

The easiest way to spot this route is by finding a brown streak near the top.   Climb past an overlap, past a very shallow right facing dihedral, aiming for the brown streak.

This underrated Rich Gottlieb line is a really excellent moderate.  It includes some interesting choices to make on route finding, and a big crack near the top that's harder than it looks. 

  Start on some slabby face climbing with sparse pro, moving up to a bulge/shallow roof.  Surmount the bulge and continue up to a fairly wide crack (fist or wider); climb through the crack and on to the top.

Near the end of the Harvest Wall, is a nice moderate route that starts by pulling a small v notched roof.  Continue up the crack past a second roof to anchors at the top.

Even if you're climbing at a higher level, Yum Yum Tree is a gas to lead.  The rock quality is first-rate and the protection is good.  Must-do! 

  From the trail, climb a somewhat thin face to a well-defined horizontal crack, which doubles as your first good pro opportunity and a good stance.  Continue face climbing up to a nice easy corner, and move through an almost chimney-like feature near the top.

The route climbs beautiful orange rock through a roof. After pulling the roof follow the curving crack just to the right of a black water streak to the anchors.  Pumpy!!

This route features a good bit of variety.  Climb the lower slab past a mini opening crux to the big ledge.  Climb the face up and slightly left to a roof (look for the big block with a right facing corner).  Pull the roof (crux #2) and snag a rest in the corner.  Climb easier terrain up and left.  Continue up slopers and side pulls to rap rings at the top (crux #3).

A bouldery start on a slab with a seam gets you to the ledge.  Techy face climbing on crimps and a couple of pockets get you to a rest on the undercling jug under the roof.  Match on a pinch, then throw to the jug at the lip...stand it up and catch a rest on another good hold.  Continue up the face slightly right to anchors.

Scramble up some broken rock to a ledge below a thin left arching crack in neon yellow rock with a couple of roofs. 

  Climb the arching crack to a stance below the roof.  Pull the roof at the notch on the left.  Continue up past great horizontals, fighting the pump, to a large hueco at the top.

Climb a wide crack that doesn't really require any off width technique.  Shares anchors with DSD.

Fun and sustained, Riff Raff is a super climb.  You may think you've got it made after pulling the crux roof move, but the crack above the roof doesn't let up on your arms.  Keep moving! 

  Starting below a thinly-protected face, move up on moderate but runout slab climbing.  Head for a weakness in the roof above with a black streak running up the crack.  Pull the roof and power up the crack on steep ground to the top.

Begin on Riff Raff eventually angling left to a stance under the roof with a short finger crack above.  Boulder through this section to a jug and rest.  Continue up another finger crack to the top.  Pumpy!

The Harvest Wall has some great moderate routes, including Yum Yum Tree and Pumpkin Patches.  These are some of the tallest lines at Jamestown, so a 60-meter rope is necessary.
