You must wear a helmet for these scrambles
Following our usual format, we'll hike up the Royal Arch trail, go a little ways off trail to the start of our first scramble. Buckets is a 4th class / 5.0 scramble of about 300'. It has some nice pockets where to place your feet, though quite steep. Once you top out, it's a walk off.
After we retrace our steps back to the Royal Arch trail, we'll go down to the 1st/2nd flatiron trail to the start of Freeway, which is a 4th class 850' or so slab scramble. This one is also a walk off.
These scrambles are pretty different from the usual alpine scramble. Good footwork is essential.
