Good analogy for the footing on Westway "..a steep slope covered in marbles." I posted a TR for a hike I did yesterday with a video of coming down Westway. Arlo, taken slowly, without the wind, it's really not so difficult. (Definitely better doing it in the uphill direction though. )Bosterson wrote: ↑April 23rd, 2018, 1:39 pm
No, but I agree. Going down Westway is like walking down a steep slope covered in marbles. It's not very fun even in dry conditions and if you don't mind the dropoff to your right. Going down HBR isn't very fun either, due to the steepness. The NW ridge is definitely the "fun" one, but I don't think the scrambly exposed bits (minimal though they are) would meet the requirements here.
