The Scoop

This route is reached best by traversing across the ledge at the base of

Dead Bobcats Travel West.

(Itself a fun route) There should be an anchor at the base of the route. Move left and follow knobs up a steep wall. Typical Index knob climbing. The crux is passing a bulging section around the 3rd bolt. The bolt is close but care needs to be taken in falling due to the slabby undulating nature of the rock. After this two more bolts lead to an easier crack section (~1.5” cam is used here – 1.5 rigid friend was used on the FA) After passing another bolt a traversing crack system leads  left (gear needed here)  to join the

Heart of the Country

route.

(Itself a fun route) The route has been reached more directly by climbing up from the

G_M Route

; however, this is usually guarded by blackberry vines.

Mostly quickdraws but a small rack is needed.
