Schoolroom 5.6 II on the Gate Buttress in Little Cottonwood Canyon

Here is the SchoolRoom location in relation to everything else in LCC. This picture was taken from the super slab area.

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

As my partner would say, we are airplane high.

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

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.

Grace on P2. #3 Protects this pitch well

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.

Looking down pitch 3 of schoolroom

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

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.

That's one way to do it...

Party on pitch 3

Make sure you take plenty of water during the summer.

Looking up P4 of Schoolroom

Comfy over there

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.
