Access Issue: Access is always an issue here. Details

Please do not litter and observe all regulations. We had to fight to regain access at one time, and we don't want to lose the privilege again. Local ethics and refuge regulations are that no bolting is permitted unless expressly authorized by the park. Leave the hammer and nails at home, no fixed gear please. Everything will go clean.

Description

Nestled on a natural edge looking over the Mt Scott Picnic Area, Elmer Thomas, and Lake Lawtonka, Bobcat's Atrium offers a great rest spot from the heat and sun or from a north wind - shade should be available all day year round with 3 mature conifers inside. This natural alcove is accessible from the south (0.3 miles) and north (0.2 miles) but even from a short distance this cozy room with a view may go unnoticed. Similarly two nice chimney climbs are similarly hidden in plain sight nearby.

Multiple routes are available to in Bobcat's Atrium including Splitter Splatter Let's Stem At Er, an unnamed project Arete on the south side, the boulder face that comprises the NE wall, and flakey climbs on the southern exterior wall. Nearby chimneys may be tagged since they are very close to this natural room.

Hike in, set up a nice rest for lunch or a nap out of noon sun, and keep an eye out for local residents - Bobcats!

Getting There

Bobcat's Atrium sits roughly halfway up Mt Scott's south slope. Access is available hiking from below at the Mt Scott Road's first parking area (34.738360, -98.531104) from the first parking area heading down from the top of Mt Scott (34.743605, -98.530962).

Bobcats Atrium: 34.740920, -98.530227

Access from below Bobcat's Atrium: Park at the first Parking Area and hike up the road 250 yards (0.14 miles) and head up the slope. Reach some nice boulders and 15-40' features and begin heading West to the left. A Slab will show up to your left and you can follow the small walls Northwest which will lead you to Bobcat's Atrium southern entrance (photo with uphill route highlighted in yellow shown in gallery).
