Getting There
One way to get here is to first go to Tower Wall, then walk flat NorthWest past Three Bears and Dave's Wall, then past the Munsee and Ramapaugh boulders to the junction (lat long ~ N41.1453 W74.1667) with the trail which goes up to Good Books Wall. Turn Right onto that trail and hike uphill NE for about 60-75 feet, then about half-way up before reaching the top of the slope, turn Left off the trail to traverse NW about 215 ft past Nechtanc to reach Scheyichbi sector.
Or first go to Basilisk sector, then up around its right side east-ward into a small "cirque", then continue east with a rising traverse across the cirque to reach Scheyichbi.
