How is it coming down the rock scramble and can you bypass the scramble while some of my party goes up? Can we meet up or would we lose them or have to wait for them? Thanks

Coming down the face of the rock scramble is definitely not for the faint of heart. But it is doable and exhilarating for anyone with good hand-eye coordination and a decent sense of balance. There are a number of different trails at this Crag and it is advisable for both parties to download avenza maps and purchasing the Schawangunk trails ahead of time or a set of the rip-proof topographic maps so you can plot things out. Of course there would be some waiting involved if you split up. But splitting up wouldn't be a bad idea and May in fact be a great idea if you can coordinate your route

Yeah, I wouldn't recommend going down the scramble trail unless you're a decent climber. The orange trail leading down the back of the mountain is a much safer way down and offers some really great views of the woods
