Any other beginner/easy scramble recommendations?

I did Nahahi Ridge last year. It is an awesome hike. Most of the trail is just a steady uphill stretch with no scrambling. The last push of the hike has a short scramble section up a maybe 70 degree 4 meter wall. It was not too bad to get up. There were really good hand and foot holds and it didn't feel particularly dangerous. It took a bit of convincing to get my girlfriend up there, but she found it pretty easy once she tried it too.
However, as of July 26, I think the road out there is still closed:

I also did Temple a few years ago. I would highly recommend a helmet as well since people do kick rocks once in a while. Make sure to check the weather before hand too. If there is rain in the area, there is likely snow on the mountain because it is so high up. There was a blizzard in September when I tried Temple and my group didn't make the summit.
