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

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

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.

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.

As my partner would say, we are airplane high.

This chimney was the trickiest part of the climb

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

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.

Make sure you take plenty of water during the summer.

That's one way to do it...
