Harvest Moon to the End is a climbing area within Mohonk Preserve in New York, a non-governmental organization-managed preserve. The routes run from the Moe closure to Harvest Moon and are part of a network of named climbing areas that sit right next to one another. The closest of these is the Moe (closure) to Harvest Moon section, about 0.2 miles away, and the Gelsa to Moe (closure) section, about 0.4 miles away, with the Beginning of cliff to Gelsa section about half a mile off. Climbers can also pair their visit with the Steel Bridge Boulders, roughly 0.7 miles away. The preserve's weather station at Mohonk Lake sits a few hundred feet lower than the climbing area, so expect temperatures up high to run slightly cooler. September is the most comfortable time to go, with typical highs around 73°F and lows near 56°F, while June averages about 78°F. The station records no snow from May through September. The climbing here is a mix of traditional and mixed routes, with 41 routes in total. Trad routes make up the bulk, from the 5.3 "King of P" to the 5.12a/b "Dark Side of the Moon." The mixed "Shootin' the Curl" is a 5.10+ line.
