SCP 001 is an Embla Class anomaly also known as The Spiral Path.
SCP-001 is a circular gravel path in a wooded area. When traveled in a counter-clockwise direction on SCP 001, the trail is continuously uphill, even after reaching the original point. When traveled in a clockwise direction on SCP001, the trail shows the same amount of uphill and downhill travel, as expected.
Level 5 clearance is required to access SCP-001’s experiment log.
New members of Overseer Council are required to read Document 001-O5.

@thespanishinquisition40783 years agoHeadcannon explanation for 001: the real scp-001 is actually a set of some of the safest scps out there, like a pencil sharpener that makes pencils longer the reason all these other 001s are apocalyptic or universe altering tales is to misdirect all the other organizations in the scp universe into thinking 001 is the most important scp. Which is also why so many of them are either linked to their beliefs or promise to reveal the deepest secrets of the foundation, which is also why it is used to designate multiple random and perfectly safe anomalies, since that way it has multiple demonstrable storage sites. In essence, it' s only real purpose is to keep every enemy of the foundation focused on these stories going in circles (literally in the case of this path) and running around while headless chickes. i mean, really. Who would be as obvious as to actively note down what set of files its deepest secret is located within? And even more, do so on the first file, number 1, making it even more obvious it' s somehow the most important file. you ask me, i' d hide my secrets on the anti-meme. That' s where they' d be really safe. ...Expand16
