Description

The School is a nice smaller area, AM shade with tree cover and nice belay areas. This area has some nice moderates and some more difficult lines. The rock here is quality Dolomite and the steepness ranges from low angle to roof climbing. Expect many styles of holds from jugs, pockets, slab, and cracks.

Please do not add "first anchor" routes to the database. If you would like to elaborate on a section of the climb please use the update feature and add to the route description.

Getting There

Park at the in the lower campground/nature trail/yurt parking area (AKA Swinging Bridge). Cross the swinging bridge and follow the nature trail, this trail will be at about your 11 o’clock upon crossing. Take this trail across the meadow passing an informative sign and make a left at your next junction. From here it’s roughly 3 minutes of walking to a wooden sign noting climbing on your right hand side. Follow the switchback trail up to the base of the wall from here. Nice trail around a 10 minute walk.
