Ed,
When did you last hike up there through the burned area?
Often brush tends to grow up in a burned area after a couple of years.

impressive Google tool, thanks. Is Scab Laborer cliff is one of those rocks formations?

Thanks for the corrections, Kevin - I updated the terrain map overlay and the elevation gain.

Mathis went in there with a large ski party.
They came in from Tamarack.
It's his preference any time of year.
He says don't forget to boogie.

I've gone in from the spot on 120 that Kevin favors, and from the spot indicated by Ed. The bushwhacking was not bad from where Ed went, but Kevin's route is cooler and shorter. I've gone in from the campground as well. Pleasantly short. My first time in, though, was by a seriously inferior route which started further down toward the Foresta road.
Never did quite get anyone to commit to Scab Laborer. I climbed up and down a good chunk of the lower part. I'm guessing the hard part is leaving the little alcove of the lower section. The crack gradually widens, though, so maybe there's a dread size issue higher up, like too big for heel/toes or something.

Warbler, Scuffy b
Probably will try the trip for suffering at Scab Laborer.
east-south facing Scab Laborer? on second tear is this a correct place with red Arrow on my GE screenshot ?
If I am coming from Tamarack Flat shell I go to Medicine Man Rappels and approach Scab Labores from the bottom or better find the top of the SL and rappel from anchor bolts [if any]

it's easy to walk down the west side and circumnavigate the base,
I believe your arrow for the Medicine Man is pointing at the wrong place, the correct location is the formation just before the one you've drawn, along the arrow direction, with the prominent dihedral

That place is a great hang. The climbing I've done not too shabby!
Warbler, I messaged you. Looking for some other info.

Place looks so cool and I've been eyeing the formation from Foresta, good to know it actually does have routes. Is there any other info available (topo/beta) for the routes besides this thread that someone would be willing to share (pm is fine)?
Interested in moderate (mid-10s) routes, slab/faces/cracks.. does anyone know the condition of Headhunters or any other moderate slab routes? Any potential for topropes on the hard faces?? Does one know what the other cracks might go at near Scab Laborer?
Likely I will take at least one trip up there to scope things out but hoping to know a little more so I'm not too in over my head.
Thanks so much in advance!

Thanks, Clint. I read that most faces were 5.11s but wasn't sure because I saw that one Bacher/Cashner route that I'm hoping to check out... I have friends down for the those 11s but was seeing if there might be more in the way for me to lead as well. Someone said there are plenty of cracks around SL, any chance you know what they might go at?
