Description

The P1 ~5.7 friction crux is at bolt 4 or 5. The roof/overlap is also a bit of a challenge: there isn't a lot to pull on above the roofless. Above the roof, its very easy to the belay beside the pine tree.

P2 is 5.4 unless you climb left of the bolts on the upper section  Avoiding the thin crack right of the bolts makes P2 another 5.7 friction problem. The top of P2 is low angle and has good foot holds for two people.

Location

The Principal of Friction start from the lowest part of the Classroom slab. There is a small stone belay pad. It's 12 feet left of 'The Couch' Boulder.

Protection

P1: 12 lead bolts with 2 bolt, Mussy hook anchor. P2: 12 lead bolts with 2 bolt Mussy hook anchor.
