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

Anchored to the tree atop pitch 5

Traverse on pitch four above the offwidth.

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

Looking up the last pitch of schoolroom

Make sure you take plenty of water during the summer.

Party on pitch 3

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

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.

Looking down pitch 3 of schoolroom

Comfy over there

Third pitch of School Room

Mr. Goat playing on the slabs just below 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.

Traversing pitch 4

As my partner would say, we are airplane high.

Lauren trying her own beta

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

Karson cruising under the roof...with two backpacks!

That's one way to do it...

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