Cool route on the left end of the rock formation. Great for beginning leaders that want to explore low angle terrain and practice multi-pitching skills.

1.) Scramble from trail up to low angle crack with various rocks within it. Mellow climbing up a crack system which has a branch ~20' from the start. Go right into steepening terrain and widening crack. 5.5 crux through awkward bulge. Belay ~15' above.

2.) Choose adventure over slabs with cracks for protection. Went left of small tree onto face. Belayed from large platform above slab. 5.3

3.) Short pitch up slab to rock face and large ledge. Awesome flake terrain belay here.

Left of the "Practice Slab" off the side of the road.  Once on top of the slab, go left and take up first gully up.   There are multiple starts. Crux at bottom and some of the vertical bands.  You can always go left to find an easier way up.  Walk off at top that circles around to the west and follows gully back down.

Great place to introduce people to rock climbing.

This three-pitch line climbs the center of School Rock above the approximate center of the Practice Slabs.  Start on an obvious sloping ramp and traverse right to a steep crack.  Follow the crack/dihedral system to the top, belaying when necessary to alleviate rope drag.

This is a fun route with mostly easy climbing and two crux sections, one down low and the second up high on the second pitch.

Start in the same area as the Kindergarten Cracks.  This is defined by a large right-facing corner, then a smaller right-facing corner to its right.

Mary's Crack starts in the next crack system to the right of these 2 corners, just left of the headwall at the base of the rock.

1) Climb the steep hand crack and continue up the slab above, aiming for the slot which goes through the upper headwall/roof at a large left-facing corner.  Belay at the base of the corner with a large horn which can be slung, or continue up the slab to a small pedestal and belay off cams right below the roof.  (5.8, 160 feet)

2) Crank through the slot with good feet and good jams, and continue easily to the top.  The roof is well-protected with a #2 and #4 Camalot.  (5.8, 100 feet)

Descend by walking off to the West.

This less-travelled enterprise ascends the Main Face, passing to the left of the

eleventh grade corner area. Pitches 1 and 2 can be combined if steps are taken to avoid rope drag.

P1 5.8 65': Begin up the right side of the block's slabby eastern face. Climb a flaring finger crack (5.8) or the wide crack to its right (5.6) to a ledge. Skirt the steep terrain above by trending rightward onto a slab, then circle back left and belay on the sloping ledge.

P2 5.6, 55': Trend left from the belay, following cracks/flakes up the short, steep face. Belay beside a tree.

P3 5.6 90': Above the tree, climb a short, steep groove to gain a small ledge (50'). Continue for 40', ascending easy terrain to reach a comfortable ledge. Belay here.

P4 5.6 95': Climb the long chimney/gully above. Belay where the gully changes into a leve, narrow corridor.
