No, I don't want people to pitch their tents on a marmot. Geez...

Thanks, I'll fix that.

Is scrambling in this area really allowed?

I have concerns about scrambling in this area, and in particular the route starting from Cispus basin. If you start from Cispus, you certainly need to enter the Yakima Indian Reservation, which is supposed to be off limits to all. If you start in Conrad meadows you can probably make it to the peak without entering the reservation, but you can't explore much. Am I missing something, or should this not be advertised as it is illegal (not to mention disrespectful).

Re: Is scrambling in this area really allowed?

Your concerns are much ado about nothing. Sure you enter an extreme outlier corner of the reservation but I'm fairly certain they don't or wouldn't care. There were no signs even telling you you've entered the reservation, at least as far as I recall or have seen mentioned on the Internet.

You should be more concerned with the footing getting up the loose gullies to get up onto the final ridge where the going gets easier.
