Just past Scout Lookout is when the real fun starts! The climb is a bit aggressive and, at times, there are a few moderate scrambles. At this point it looks like there's quite a challenge ahead, but it just got us more fired up to continue.
Okay, it looks a bit intimidatimg, but I think this is a hike that anyone in good health can, and should do(BTW, we met hikers of ALL ages on this trail, from 7 to 70+).The views are stunnning and the payback at the end is well worth the workout. Though there are some serious dropoffs(okay 1000'+ cliffs), there are chains anchored into the rock to give you a firm grip on things as you can see in the following images.
Just a few scrambles...

If you care to, you can get close to the edge.
