Schoolroom 5.6 II on the Gate Buttress in Little Cottonwood Canyon

Last pitch

School Room traverse - 4th pitch (after heinous chimney)

Traverse on pitch four above the offwidth.

Gear beta for pitch 2 anchor. Mostly finger size pieces. I used .5 C4, #2 Metolius, and #6 Metolius.

Traversing pitch 4

View of the chimney / offwidth / whatever you wanna call it

Looking down the top of the second pitch. I think this is the best pitch on the route especially if you link it with the schoolroom direct start.

Third pitch of School Room

Looking down pitch 3 of schoolroom

Just above the chimney (seen on the right partially hidden by the bush) on the 4th pitch as I begin the traverse under the roof.

If you want to walk off, this is the tree and blocky terrain than plants you near the base of 'after the fall'.

Sidestepping the traverse under the roof

Near the top of the 3rd pitch of Schoolroom. Nice clean finger crack!

Grace on P2. #3 Protects this pitch well

Pro on traverse (E->W): #6 WC Offset nut set in small left facing crack, single sling on rock spur, ULMC #3 & WC 0.5.

3rd pitch...

Kev traversing on pitch 4

That's one way to do it...

Party on pitch 3

As my partner would say, we are airplane high.

Brian looking up at the 5th pitch.

Make sure you take plenty of water during the summer.

Looking up the last pitch of schoolroom

Top of hand crack (looking down) from a great belay to end "first" pitch. Beware of overcamming your #3s (somebody lost one in the top of the crack and my wife didn't want to dig for it) and extend your placements to avoid drag.

Comfy over there

This chimney was the trickiest part of the climb
