Thanks for all of the advice how does the scout climb? I have been reading some reviews on the Ragleys and some people are saying they climb like real pigs so I'm wondering what the scout meeting ended think of its climbing ability?

Does it fine. Am comparing big wheeled full suspension to a HT though so it's always going to be better. Having said that my Enduro climbs pretty well for the big bike that it is. Scout climbs as well as my BFe did, maybe better being a better fit for me.
I'm currently running it singlespeed and I like it. If you sit back on the climbs the front will unweight pretty easy, short back end makes it easy to lift. Wheelie machine. But climbing does tend to mean you're leaning into the bars, more or less.
Am no expert on this but I would say choice of fork makes a big difference. Would guess any slack HT will tend to wander a bit on climbs?
Only negative I find is the low BB and rock strikes uphill, I've got 175mm cranks and need to watch it through rocky climbs. A bit of ratcheting on the climbs. Bit of an adjustment to my technique. And we've only got a couple of spots here where that's an issue.
You can easily see I'm a fan. To be honest if they had XL frames available in the 29 I'd probably be getting one. And wife would be calling me all sorts of stupid names.
