Scrounge About

Pleasant steep slab if it were cleaned up. The bottom two pitches are short and very dirty; the first is completely "skippable", the second has a few good moments. The third is longer and incorporates what was the original finish of Scout About.

P1 5.2 G 20': Find a foot ramp near the left end of the cluttered, dirty slab, which lies about 200' left of the main Waterfall Wall Slab. Climb up easily to the next wooded ledge and move to the base of the next slab, beneath a nice-looking vertical crack.

P2 5.4 G 30': Climb the crack to its end, then split the trees at the top of the slab and head left to the base of a large right-facing corner.

P3 5.6 PG: Climb up corner to overhang, traverse around it to the right and up onto a small tree island, with a vertical seam leading up the slab above. Climb seam to its end and continue on trivial slab into the woods.

This route begins near the left edge of the cluttered slab below the main apron of the Scout-About Slab. It is possible to skip the "first pitch" by scrambling up a steep ramp to the left. Look for a foot-ramp rising up to cracks in the extremely dirty slab. The bottom is not obvious, but it is also short and not remarkable, so if you skip this and scramble to the next ledge, you won't miss anything. The "second pitch" is also short, but the vertical crack in the steep slab is fun. If you find this, it will lead up to the next ledge, slightly right of where the top pitch goes. The third pitch begins at a large right-facing corner/open book leading to an overhang 15' up.

Standard Adk. Rack. There are a few bolts along the way of the upper pitch. Descend by either rappelling off trees or walking climber's left down and around the cliff.
