DescriptionThe long slabby wall just left of the Schoolroom goes by two different names. The lower section is called Kermit's Wall, the upper is the Perhaps area. These walls are connected together, and hold many fine routes. Nice cracks split the face making it a good destination. On the Perhaps wall, probably the most often done climb here is The Green Adjective, a 5.9 seam. Also, an aesthetic deep dihedral works its way up and right, the namesake climb of the cliff, Perhaps 5.7. Kermit's Wall has some quality bolted routes as well as some good thin cracks. Getting ThereProbably the easiest approach is to first go up to the Schoolroom area. To get there, park 1.25 miles up the canyon, then follow the trail just downhill from the chain link fence. Take the left fork which heads west, and eventually crosses into a field of boulders. Climb up the boulders to the base of the Schoolroom. Then traverse left and up past here, following the climber's trail which is the descent route for the Schoolroom. This eventually gets to a big formation on the left, across from the gully. Look for a very thin seam cleaving a low angle slab as a landmark (The Green A). To get to the Kermit's Wall, follow the base of the rock downhill.

 Super classic! There are two ways to approach the meat and potatoes of Gordon's Hangover. I am describing the original start, which takes the most direct line. This way also makes the route best done as one long pitch.Start in the huge dihedral downhill from The Green Adjective. This is also the same start as Touch Up and Perhaps.Climb the huge dihedral, which is very moderate for the first fifty feet or so. ...[more] Browse More Classics in UT
