Description Suggest change

The long slabby wall just left of the Schoolroom goes by two different names in the Wasatch Guide, but has very distinct separations. The lower section is called Kermit's Wall. These walls are connected together, separated by a distinct dihedral, and hold many fine routes. Nice cracks split the face making it a good destination. Kermit's Wall has some quality bolted routes as well as some good thin cracks.

Getting There Suggest change

Park 1.25 miles up the canyon at the large dirt parking lot on the north side of the road at the Gate Boulders, then follow the trail on the west end of the lot. Take the left fork which heads west (sign for Schoolroom), and follow the new-ish very nice trail through the boulders.  You will see many large rock steps leading the way, trending up and left (well to the left of Schoolroom).
