Description 

Darkness At Noon is located just to the left of Heinous Cling. A thin start leads way to sustained 5.12 climbing that goes on forever. There is a controversial no-hands rest on the arete, also known as the "Portland rest" is said to throw the grade down significantly. The route follows the name and does go into the shade after 12. This is a good thing on hot days, but in the winter months it makes quite the epic belay for the belayer(bring the down jacket).
