Jonathan Chamberlin made the first ascent of this route on April 1, 2022.

~30m.
Description:
This route is a slab with exclusively traversal. The wall you climb along is vertical and there is a continuous foothold, except for the boulder problem in the middle, about 4 inches deep.

There is a boulder problem in the middle. On each side, there are symmetric traversal sections. The beginning and end consist of slab problems. There are no dynamic moves.

The crux is the very start: getting yourself on the wall’s ledge about 4 feet above the ground. It requires lots of flexibility, especially of the hips. I'd rate the route V1-V2 if we don't include the start.

Location:
This route was located on the Harvard Medical School’s quadrangle. The route was on the building at the quadrangle’s northwest side: the Tosteson Medical Education Center.

The coordinates of the quadrangle are the following. Type them into any maps app or website to get directions:
42.33670° N, 71.10380° W.

There will be people walking by while you do this route. It is in a somewhat public space.

Protection
You will be standing up with your feet about 4ft off the ground. I'm not sure how useful crash mats will be since the route is entirely horizontal. This route is mostly slab, so if you fall it will be that your body slowly falls away from the wall; This means you will have plenty of time to react to land.

Do this route if you are comfortable landing in your climbing shoes.
