Heat Up The Olive Oil Nonna

On the East face of Spicy Meatball you will find a seam running from 11 o'clock to 5 o'clock and a horizontal jug at the top of this seam at eye level.

This is the starting point of the standing-start problem Heat Up The Olive Oil Nonna.

Easy moves  to the left moving up onto a slab with decent features for feet friction. Walk off is obvious and can be seen on west side of rock which is accessible from the front or back.

FA video and beta can be seen on Youtube youtube.com/watch?v=sF5Q8TW…

As of April 2020 some type of ground-nesting bird is setup to the NE side of the rock so please watch your step accessing the backside.

Approaching Mt Scott from Medicine Park reset your odometer at the blue water towers on the hill and continue 1.9 miles west on HWY 49 to park. On the way you should enter a tree-lined portion for a few hundred yards and when this opens up to talus boulders Spicy Meatball should be on your right at 4 o'clock to the NNE.

The boulder is immediately visible from the road and should be the most prominent rock for a few hundred yards.

From the Mt Scott Rd entrance and the 6' monolith in the triangle of stones head east on HWY 49 for 0.5 miles. Park and look at 10 o'clock and you should see Spicy Meatball as the most prominent rock in plain view. It is only 40-45 yards off the blacktop. 

Hike in boulder hopping and you will arrive at the granite floor beneath Spicy Meatball in less than 1 minute.
