Description Suggest change

Gain the right facing dihedral and ascend it until it jogs right in a roofy fashion. I chose to go left here over a short roof. Either way, gain a ramp that heads up and left to a tree and belay there. From the tree belay there are many options to top out. The corner formed by the ramp steepens and that corner apparently goes at ~5.9. we took the left arete instead popping left around the corner at a roof and then continuing up the left face of the arete to the top.

You are very close to the Medicine Bow Peak Trail at this point and are likely to encounter hikers observing you final belay. Either join the trail walking down to the (climbers) left (south and west) to return to the parking lot. Or ... do like we did and hike (climbers) right along the ridge to a dirt patch near some pine trees. From the north side of the pine tree cluster carefully scramble down and look for a lone metolius rap hanger which can be used to attain a pair of metolius rap hangers down and left. Definitely a bit sketchy! Rap straight down to a set of rings. We had double 60m and this was a shortish rap. Maybe 120' but not positive. From there one double rope rap back to your packs.

Location Suggest change

On Schoolhouse - the formation above the Lake Marie parking lot. Follow your nose to the scree field from the parking lot and head up the screen to the base. Junior High aims for a clean cut right facing corner low on the face approximately in the middle of the cliff.

Protection Suggest change

I used a single rack of cams through #4 Camelot + heavy on wires and tricams.
