    Hiking

    Many hikers turn around at the boulder field further down Mount Si, wisely avoiding the scramble up the forbidding Haystack Rock in front of you. That's for good reason: Although there is a scrambling route to the top there are also legitimate, ropes-required rock climbing routes, and it's very easy to find yourself on the wrong route. Even if you stay on the scrambling route, the consequences of a fall from the Haystack would be life-changing if not deadly — and coming back down a scrambling route like this is often surprisingly more difficult than getting yourself up.
