Right Scoop is a bouldering area in Georgia's Rum Creek Wildlife Management Area, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with Waterworld, The Line and The Brain all about 0.1 mile away. The area's six boulder problems range from V1-2 to V6, with Scoop Traverse and Ankle Biter on the easier end and Cradle To The Grave and One Foot In The Grave at the top. The V6 routes were first ascended by Clint Walker and Aaron Scott. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Monticello show October highs around 78°F with lows near 48°F, while July highs reach about 92°F. For a change from the rocks, Hitchiti Trail and Hitchiti Loop Trail are both within about 3 miles. Double Bridges Trail and Little Rock Nature Trail are a little farther out.
