West Scar Ridge

[Jabberwalk]

Is anyone planning a trip to West Scar - the real one - not the cannister peak, in the near future? I've signed in to the cannister, but that was two years ago, when I had no idea that the cannister might not be on the peak. Now I feel like a cheater! Can't sleep at night. . . .

Just did it yesterday. There is a canister on West Scar, as you may know. I have no interest in doing that beast again, though!

Best regards,
Marty

Did you summit from Loon or from the Kanc? I doubt you tackled it from Little East Pond. Bummer, I could have tagged along!

Marty, doublebow, Greg and I went from Loon. You're lucky you weren't with us!
We missed the magic line.....If you want beta, PM me and I'd be happy to tell you what not to do.

Heh-heh. You're legit, the committee allowed the "east peak of West Scar" to count. However, it is in fact a much easier hike, and a beautiful forested summit on the "west peak of West Scar". The trees are widely spaced out, interspersed with ferns and hung with moss. It really is worth a visit. Heck, I might even talk myself into going back someday...

Get some sleep, it is definately not worth the aggravation. I did have some fun zipping down Loon's slopes on a Swiss Bob.

Thanks for the conscience calmers. . . .It seems a good place to get to, but not to lose sleep over. Perfect.
