    Sub 4K Scrambles

    Beehive and precipice trails seem to be considered as scrambles under 4k.l I would agree with the Tumble down chimney rte.Also an unmapped trail that I found up Little Jackson up the back way way to the summit was def a scramble at most spots.It was a trail,more than a herd path.
