This is an advanced scramble consisting of two excellent 4th class slabs in the Flatirons. You must have previous experience doing Flatirons scrambles to attend this event.

We will do 2 scrambles on this fine morning. First, head up the Royal Arch trailhead, bushwhack a bit to the bottom of Buckets, a fine 4th class slab, then head towards the base of Freeway, another fine 4th class slab.

I expect the entire hike will take us about 3-4 hours.
