I read that there are canisters on both East and Middle Scar Ridge. Fine. But what about West Peak, the NE100 one? There are 2 knobs on that West Peak. The eastern one has a canister with "Scar ridge" written on it. It's the one you hit directly when you climb the ridge from the Kanc. But what about the Western knob, .2 mile further? In Gene Daniell's notes, it is written that "although the canister is on the more definite East knob, purists will feel compelled to tramp on the flatter but technically higher West knob, the actual highest knob still being a matter of opinion".
So, are all those who signed in the eastern canister without signing in the western one are ok according to the NE100 rules? Which one really "counts"? Both?
It is strange and confusing having a summit with 2 canisters
